A member asked:

I accidentally swallowed the round bit on a soda can (the part that folds inside when you pop the tab). i had a few x-rays as soon as i swallowed it but nothing showed up in them. should i be worried?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

The soda can tab is very small and it should be able to pass in your stool without difficulty. If you develop symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, fever, then go to the nearest ER. Are you sure you swallowed it? If it is metal, it should be on the x-ray but either way, it should pass without difficulty. Good luck to you!
