“Help for my husband?”

Someone chloroformed my husband and then shoved a sea sponge down his throat. Yes, we have alerted the authorities. He thought it was all gone but he can still feel it, only now it is in his stomach area. It is making his chest hurt and it's hard for him to eat anything including soup. Is there anything that will help flush it out of his body?
