A member asked:

I lost an earring and can't find it. i'm scared my 11 month old will eat it or ate it! what signs should i look for if he did eat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly onting: If the child is not coughing, then it probably did not get in the lungs. If your child is vomiting or seems to have abdominl pain you may be concerned. Kids swallow things frequently. Rather than worry just get an abdominal x-ray. Then you know if you should worry. Most small items pass.
