Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Observe: The contact lens is a choking hazard and if located in the airway may cause breathing problems, including pneumonia. Watch for any respiratory signs and if these occur, please see the Emergency room. Otherwise offer soothing fluids and yogurt and it will probably be eliminated in the next 24 hours.
