yesterday my daughter swallowed a charm to a neckalace and she has not passed it yet so when should i get really worried,i called and they said to give it 48 hours to pass then call them back,so hopefully it will pass in the morning ..i am not sure how to reply back to everyone so i will do it on here thanks for your advice and it is pretty helpful,she is fine eaten drinking running around like nuttin happen..
okay well of course i am very happy cause she pooped it out today,now that was a scare to know there was something inside my babie floating around or something,but now it is all good it's out and she is fine ..
We are on day 4 of waiting on a Lego head to come out - and the kid poops 4 times a day! They told me it will come and that as long as there isn't belly pain or rectal bleeding not to worry.
It can take up to a week! Just wait, if it made it down her throat, it will make it out. Just keep checking her poop for it :P
I would say to trust your doctor. Please do not insist on an x-ray. Too many parents push their doctors for x-rays but that should only be done if the benefits outweigh the risks because you are exposing your kid to radiation. Children are more vulnerable to radiation from x-rays than adults.
I second what the person said about swallowing a razor blade - my childhood pediatrician said not to worry about things being swallowed unless there is pain because the body will protect itself. This is kind of gross, but he said even if a kid swallows something like a pin, the body will surround it with mucus and then it's really hard for it to poke or get stuck in the intestines. It's so hard as a mom when you're uncertain about what's going on inside, but I would trust your doctor's advice and trust your daughter's behavior that she is ok. Hang in there!

If she starts having abdominal pain take her to the ER immediately. Otherwise, she will probably pass it. See what your pediatrician thinks. Good luck!
I've seen several children who've swallowed something. It has always passed. Be kind to yourself and focus on it's passing. No need to worry.
I escorted an adult woman, who had swallowed a razor blade, to court, for an involuntary commitment hearing. She had swallowed the razor blade a couple of days before that. A doctor had seen her and said it would pass thru her system but it hadn't done so yet. Someone wanted her committed until it passed. Her doctor said that was not necessary.
Go figure! Once I listened to that case I stopped being concerned about swallowed objects.
I assume you already went to the Dr. and had an xray taken.
when I was little I swallowed a coin, almost the size of a nickel, It took me a couple weeks to pass it, but my doctor told my mom to give me a lot of banana!
Banana makes your poop more solid, just give it time if youve already seen your pediatrician. If you havent call the nurse and explain.
