??: If your friend swallowed a small item, and shows no signs of distress, it'll probably "pass" on its own. If it's a large item, or has sharp edges or hooks, seek medical treatment right away. If there is any respiratory distress, that might mean that the object was inhaled instead of swallowed, in which case, seek immediate medical care.
