A member asked:

Good day drs. my 2 year old has swallowed the round metallic object that holds the screw. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: These are an urgent issue if they stick in the swallow tube.If he can drink any fluids now you know it made it to the stomach. The rounded edges make it likely to pass in 3-4 day. If he develops colicky belly pain I would have him seen. If it doesn't pass in a week an x-ray can show it's location or that it did pass.
