Did you take her to : Did you take her to er? You need to do this. They can X-ray and see where the ting is. Hopefully you have no respiratory issues. Get her to er and they will take it from there. May need removal.

Doubt a problem: Plastic or metal ? Either way these usually transit the intestines with little if any problem.A pedi surgeon I know recommends feeding the kid stewed okra, because the mush forms a congeal around the object & helps it pass.If it was plastic they are not likely to see it on x-ray, so the exposure is a waste.
