Patient's question:
My child accidentally ate a silver coin on the 19th of this month. After eating it, everything was normal; they could eat and defecate, but so far, the coin hasn't been seen in their stool. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Normal appetite, no need to worry too much. What is eaten out may cause interference to appetite if there is any abnormality. Suggestions: When going to the hospital, it is important to first check where the coin has gone. If it is in the stomach, an endoscopy can be performed to remove it. If it has entered the intestinal tract, it can only be excreted out of the body with the child's stool. Eat more vegetables, such as chives, celery, etc. It can wrap the coin and simultaneously enhance intestinal peristalsis, which will help it come out.
