A member asked:
Hi my kid is 7yr old. and he swallowed an eraser what should i do.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ignore it: I would have a talk with the kid, since he is old enough to understand an eraser is not food and you are disappointed with his action. The eraser will pass out of his system undigested over the next 3-4 days. I would not bother to look for it. They are not toxic.
