I’m not sure if I did but I was eating some chicken and found a small chicken bone in it. I don’t know if I swallowed, but I am scared a little that it can damage my intestines. I was wondering if I should go to the hospital or anything like that. Will I digest chicken bone?
I suppose As long as you actually swallowed it, and it’s not stuck in your throat, you're fine. Its just like swallowing something plastic like I’m sure we have all done once when we were little. These things don't digest either; they just come out when you have a bowel movement. So, I’m sure that is what will happen to the bone.
