What Could Be The Concerned Symptoms For Accidental Intake Of Eraser?
I think my son may have ingested a piece of magic eraser . I didn t actually see him eat it, but I caught him holding one and there was a piece missing from it. Are there any signs or symptoms to watch for to know if I should take additional precautions?

Hi.... I appreciate that you have taken out the eraser from the mouth. But eraser is not a radio opaque substance.. even if we take an xray it will not be visible. What you can look for is it to come out in the faecal matter or you can be on the guard for other symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting along with nausea. If any of these symptoms develop I suggest you take him to the nearest Emergency Room.
