What to do when a 4 year old swallows a screw?

Depends: Screws aren't magnetically charged, so there's little risk. Much depends on the size of the screw. If it's big, there's a chance of obstruction, but otherwise it will probably pass without incident.

Depends: Any foreign ingestion can catch in the swallow tube, blocking fluid & food intake. That might require retrieval in the or. If it makes it into the stomach it may pass thru the gut within 3-5 days. Most smaller screws can pass if they made it into the stomach.Feeding the kid stewed okra soon after the ingestion can wrap it up & smooth passage.
