Patient's question:
Last night around 8:00 PM, I accidentally swallowed a penny. About the past treatment and effectiveness: Currently, the child is not uncomfortable. What kind of help is desired: How can the penny come out?Doctor's answer:
I don't know how old the child is. Generally, a coin on one side is not large, and its edges are smooth, so it will never cause harm to the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended that the child can eat more vegetables, such as cutting chives longer and lightly stir-frying them for a few seconds to eat. This can have a laxative effect and tightly wrap foreign objects, which will be excreted through bowel movements. Additionally, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a few scans to check where the coin has gone. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if a child accidentally swallows a coin?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
