Foreign body: I think foreign body is certainly a possibility in a one-year-old. In other words, they may have swallowed something that shouldn't be there. Other than that, it would be best to let a physician get a good history of what the problem has been which prompted the swallowing study in the first place and you will be able to go from there.

Other possible causes include a swallowed object. The density,size and shape are important considerations. Watch for fever,signs of choking and please follow up.
