Baby swallowed some: Something is not good enough if it could have been a battery take to dr now. Otherwise call your local poison control center.

Usually OK, however.: Many items commonly found in and around the home are essentially nontoxic when ingested in small to modest amount quantities. Given the absence of respiratory symptoms, it is likely that he ingested unspecified item. In case of ingestion of family member's medicine or button battery, seeking medical attention would be prudent.
