How To Remove A Coin From A Child S Stomach?
My 6yr old granddaughter swallowed a quarter and it is lodged in her small intestine. She had an x-ray yesterday, which was day 8. What is the next step? We have waited the seven days to see if it would pass with a bm, although eating, drinking, and otherwise normal.
