Poison control: If you have a local poison control center,you should call them;they would have acccess to more details about these.If not, please call his doctor or go to the ER, especially if he is having any breathing, swallowing, or gastrointestinal symptoms.I don’t know how old your son is or when this happened. Although, they are only supposed to expand to 7mm if swallowed, it can be a problem with multiple.
