When a child swallows a coin by mistake, parents do not need to panic or blame the child for causing the child to panic. First of all, it should be clear whether the child has really swallowed the coin? How many coins were swallowed? At what time was the coin swallowed? Did the child show any signs of discomfort? If the child has symptoms such as vomiting or difficulty swallowing, take the child to the hospital promptly for an X-ray examination to determine if the coin is lodged in the esophagus and, if necessary, to remove the coin endoscopically. If the child does not have any discomfort, there is no need to worry because the possibility of gastrointestinal perforation of a round coin is very small. You can eat more fiber-rich vegetables, keep the stool flowing, and pick up the stool every day to observe whether there is any coin discharged from it. If the coins are not discharged for seven or even ten days, you can take your child to the hospital to take an X-ray to clarify whether the coins are still in the child’s gastrointestinal tract and the approximate location of the coins in the gastrointestinal tract. Children with irregular bowel movements generally take longer to pass.
