A member asked:

My 6 year old daughter swallowed a sharp piece of plastic off of a hard plastic straw she is breathing and swallowing fine should i do anything?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: The objects that make it to the stomach have a good chance of making it all the way out in the poo without problems.Feeding a kid some stewed okra can encase the edges of any small object in a mesh & help it move along without snagging the walls. If the kid has colicky abdominal pain it would be a problem.Foreign body ingestion.
