Can a swalloed magnet do harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swallow magnet: Magnets should be inert and should not cause a problem unless they are very large. So size would be the big issue and an xray can help locate where it is and follow it until it is excreted in the stool. May want to see your doctor.
