A member asked:
Should i take my 7 year old son to hospital he has just swallowed a one pound coin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. It is rather: urgent especially if child has throat or chest pain. It is important to determine the location of the coin and evaluate the risk of aspiration. Take care.
