Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child swallowed a coin and when they defecated, the coin was not found. However, an X-ray revealed that it had disappeared. It should not be wrong, right? I've been puzzled and couldn't find the coin.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your problem! According to your description, I suggest you secondly focus on carefully observing the child's reaction, and further clarify how the child swallowed the coin; thirdly: it is necessary to take a full gastrointestinal X-ray to confirm whether it is still present. Then, go to multiple hospitals for a thorough examination to see how the coin is still in the body. However, be careful not to let the child touch the coin again. The above is my suggestion for the question "What should I do if a 4-year-old swallows a coin?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
