A member asked:
My 13 month old son swallowed a piece of nerf football (foam toy). how concerned should i be? he's showing no abnormal symptoms as of yet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Current action: If he ingested the item over half an hour ago and he is without complaints, he should be fine. If he has eaten since then and is still without complaints, most likely he will be fine.
