If toddler did swallow a piece of copper wire that broke from old dvd player what symptoms would i look for?

Abdominal pain: Ouch. Assuming it made it to his stomach, you'd worry about an end perforating his stomach or intestine--which could make him very sick. Most things pass without problems, but an x-ray would tell you if you need to watch them very closely.
