What To Do If Baby Accidentally Swallowed A Coin?
Hi, Im not sure if my 11 and a half month old daughter swallowed a coin or not. I turned my back for a minute and she had a dime in her mouth but Im not sure if she swallowed anything else before I noticed. She actually has a tendency to hold things in her mouth so maybe Im worrying for nothing. What should I do?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The swallowed coin comes out within a day or two in the motion.
You may go in for a x-ray to locate the coin in the GI tract.
If she has not swallowed as per your version it is OK.
Any way nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
