What should you do if a sewing needle goes missing when your child is around one year old?

Patient's question:

When the child was about one year old, a sewing needle went missing at home. We looked for a long time but couldn't find it. Today, I read a news article saying that a needle can pierce a person's body and move around inside, and suddenly I became very afraid that the needle might have pierced the child. The child is now already seven years old, is it necessary to take him for a check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, consider whether the child has a physical problem, what should be done? I suggest you don't hurry, because if the child was pricked with a needle back then, there must have been symptoms. If the child felt nothing at the time, it is generally considered that there is no problem. If you still don't feel at ease, you can also take the child to the hospital for a check-up. If there is no problem, you will feel relieved, okay?
