A member asked:
I have a daughter who is 3 years old, she swallowed a aa battery.is it dangerous ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The size of the aa battery is quite large for the anatomy of a 3 year old child. She could develop serious problems in trying to pass something that size into her stool. She should be seen at the nearest children's emergency room for imaging and intervention.
