My baby swallowed a dime size piece of hard plastic. what should i do?

My baby swallowed a piece of hard plastic, which broke off a toonie sized flower shaped hanging keychain The piece which I think she swallowed is smaller than a dime, and not sharp from what i can feel on the piece of the flower which is remaining. She seems to be fine. Not coughing or wheezing. Nothing like that. So i think it went down without a battle. should i be worried it will tear her tummy or intestines when on the way out. and if it hurts her inside how will ikno? thzzxx

Definitely call your Doc or Health Visitor and see what they advise.
Reply:U better take her to the hosipital straight away, but it may come out from her stool too, my younger sister eat a button when she was 8 month, my mum took her to the hosiptial, nothing wrong with her, and a few days later it come out from her stool!!!
Reply:I think you should call the doctor and see what they say.
Reply:How old ? I would feel better if you called your baby%26#039;s doctor their is always a doc or nurse on call there are never any stupid questions when it comes to your childs health and safety, The doctor and nurses staffed have more then likely dealt with this before kids put stuff in their mouths all the time. After you see to your baby go thru your house and put all %26quot;bite size%26quot; things that can harm your child out of reach.
Reply:If you think it is too big for her too pass it would be best to take her too the hospital/docs better too be safe than sorry





Im not sure where you live but try and ring Health direct they are qualified nurses they are there 24/7 number is 1800 022 222
Reply:No, I would not worry. Simply look for it to come out the other end, but don%26#039;t freak out or worry too much, it will most likely pass through just fine.


If you find blood in her poop, then I would worry and call the Dr, but I am sure she will be fine!
