I accidentally swallowed a aa battery over 24hours ago. i have not experienced any pain or other symptoms. should i just wait for it to pass?

Urgent evaluation is necessary because a battery can be damaged by stomach acid and leak. This can cause severe damage your intestines or inside your body. Recommendation is to go to the emergency room today as soon as possible.
