Suggest Treatment For Headache And Fever In Kid
my 5 year old daughter toldus yesterday that she swallowed a penny during naptime. she didn t tell us right away because we have told her time and time again to never put money in her mouth. this afternoon she has a 101.5 fever and thechills and is complaining of headache and said she felt like throwing up. but I just asked her again about her tummy and she says it feel fine its just her head. What do u think? any corilation with thepenny. I have no clue if shes passed it or not

Hi...this seems like a viral illness unrelated to the penny ingestion. Do not worry. If you do not know whether it has come out or not, I suggest you take an X-ray abdomen including chest and it will show up if it is still there.
