A member asked:

My 2 yr old swallowed small rubberband about 2-3 hrs ago. she drinking ate few cheetos playing fine. right when she lay down she says her throat hurt i made her drink more juice now she sleeping should still take her to the er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Since she was able to drink the juice after, we know the rubber band made it safely into her stomach. It will pass quietly in her poop in 1-4 days. Ingesting such objects is common at that age. I don't consider it worth an ER visit or any worry. if her throat pain persists contact her doc for guidance.
