Suggest Remedies For Accidental Ingestion Of Plastic By A Child
Nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You should not worry too much as no one saw her swallowing the plastic item.
You can get a Plain x ray abdomen in erect posture for a clue.If Soft tissue shadow is not seen,then you can go for ultrasound abdomen. Ultrasound will give some idea regarding the location if it is done by a XXXXXXX and experienced Radiologist.
But,the foreign body will pass out in stool even though it is swallowed by mistake.
I have seen a metal rod of 2 inches coming out from analcanal.
As there is no distension of abdomen, vomiting or constipation; chances of Intestinal obstruction is ruled out.
Please consult a Paediatrician/Paediatric surgeon and proceed further.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
Ultrasound abdomen will give a clue.
