Q: 4 years boy swallowed magnet(foreign body ingestion) 3 days back ,recent xrays shows that its in centre abdomen, how much time it will take to pass out?

: If he swallowed only one magnet, it will pass without any action on your part in a couple of days. If he swallowed two or more that may require surgery to remove those as two magnets can stick together and kill the tissue in between.
