I think i swallowed a metal magnet, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is small,: round and easy to pass - then would anticipate it will come out with your stool. If it is particularly large or shaped in a manner that might make it difficult to travel through the GI tract - then would consult with medical.
