What should I do if the baby swallows a zipper pull?

Patient's question:

The baby is three years old. Today, he accidentally swallowed the zipper pull. What should I do?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: We went to the hospital for an X-ray, but the doctor said the radiation was harmful to the child, so we didn’t have it done. He said even if we did, it wouldn’t be possible to remove it.
What kind of help is needed: What kind of harm could it cause, and how can it be removed?

Doctor's answer:

Soak chives in boiling water  Take an adequate amount of chives, wash them, and do not cut them. Soak them in boiling water until cooked, then mix with sesame oil and consume. Due to the high fiber content in chives, which is not easily digested or absorbed by the intestines, it can wrap around foreign objects and protect the intestinal walls, allowing the foreign objects to pass out smoothly.
Dry swallow strips of dried kelp. If someone accidentally swallows metal objects such as coins or metal buttons into the digestive tract, they can improve the situation by dry swallowing many strips of kelp stir-fried with lard. The effect is also quite good, but it is still recommended to take the baby for a check-up.
