Hello doctor!
Yesterday while rinsing my mouth, I felt discomfort in my lips and when I spit it out, I saw snakes and baby centipedes. The doctor asked me if snakes and centipedes swallowed can live in the body? Right now, I feel sick to my stomach. Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank.
