Hello. I'm posting because my 3 year old swallowed a plastic gem (quite big with sticky adhesive on) last Saturday. We've been on poo watch since then and it definitely hasn't emerged. I would have hoped to see it by now and I feel my anxiety level rising each time there is a no show. Initially I was cool with it, I mean kids swallow stuff all the time right..it just feels worrying that it's taking so long. I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience? I've heard (via google) that it's possible for foreign obects to get lodged in the esophagus and the kid be asymptomatic and also that because it's a plastic gem it wouldn't nec show up on an Xray. Feel a bit freaked out! Thanks for any shared experiences/ advise.
