My 6yr old granddaughter swallowed a quarter and it is lodged in her small intestine. She had an x-ray yesterday, which was day 8. What is the next step? We have waited the seven days to see if it would pass with a bm, although eating, drinking, and otherwise normal.
Hi read your question Coin was in small intestine. Xray was done yesterday if coin is there since 8 days and there is no problem in passing stool, but coin is foreign material which causes problem. U try to give banana, ROTC, and other fruits. If coin is not pass in stool then u have to consult surgeon As if coin obstruct the small intestine the three will be a major problem to your baby
