UNLIKELY: Fortunately, we have a lot of experience with kids ingesting stuff, from dirt to toys to nuts and bolts and the like. Most that are smaller than a dime, will pass to the stomach and all the way through the digestive tract with no problem. I can't put a fever together with this event, must be an unrelated illness. Stewed okra fed to the kid will form a bond with the object and help it slide thru
