Water cap : You should go to the emergency room. This may be no emergency but needs to be observed for now. Most (80 to 90 percent) ingested foreign bodies pass without the need for intervention. Endoscopic intervention is required in 10 to 20 percent of patients, and surgical intervention is required in less than 1 percent The esophagus is the most frequent site of obstruction.
