Gave her a bath she says nothing hurts she s breathing normally it just seems she was scared as well as we were... What do u recommend?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
If your daughter is giving history of swallowing a penny, then immediately consult a pediatrician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If it goes in the respiratory tract, the it might be an emergency issue, so rush to the physician immediately.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
