Follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Most children have no symptoms after swallowing a small object, and the object will not cause any problems.
Occasionally, the swallowed object can become stuck in the oesophagus.
In case that you see difficulty in breathing, bloody saliva or vomiting, go at the emergency room for evaluation.
