Is There Anything To Worry After A 2 Year Old Swallowing A Dime?
My 2 year old swallowed a dime yesterday afternoon. His first BM was normal. But his second BM today was like an extra tiny ball like the size of a small pearl. I'm worried he might be getting constipated. Is this something to be concerned about just yet?

His constipation is unlikely to be due to swallowed dime. The dime will pass out per rectally on its own along with bowel movements.
Giving him one banana a day will be helpful
I hope it helped
