Child swallows coin

Patient's question:

2.5-year-old child swallowed a 1-cent coin yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, an X-ray was taken, and it was said that there is a foreign body in the pelvic cavity. Is it dangerous?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is best treated with surgery, as the surgical outcome is relatively certain. Medication treatment is meaningless. Post-surgery, it's important to prevent wound infection and pay attention to supplementing with high-quality protein to promote wound healing.
