What reactions might a child have if they swallow a memory card?

Patient's question:

The memory card baby at home disappeared while playing. I don't know if it was swallowed. If it was swallowed, what should I do? This has never happened before. I'd like to ask if the child might experience any adverse effects?

Doctor's answer:

Infant accidental ingestion. Guidance suggestions: Infant accidental ingestion is relatively common. Generally, there is a possibility that the memory card is harmless, so it is important to help the child have a bowel movement as soon as possible to expel it from the body. Drink some yogurt to promote absorption. Observe if the baby has any crying or abnormal symptoms. If there are, seek medical attention promptly for a full-body check-up. If there are no crying or symptoms, pay attention to ensuring the child has a bowel movement as soon as possible in the coming days, and monitor whether there are any foreign objects in the stool.
