DD1 (aged 6) swallowed a £2 coin (!!!!!) last Saturday. We took her to A&E where they did an x ray and found it had passed to her stomach. They said that it will pass out naturally within about a week but to bring her back if it doesn't.
It still hasn't ''passed out'' and I'm feeling quite worried. DD isn't very regular in that department and has only had three poos this week (which I've had the lovely job of looking through - she very kindly did them in DS2's potty for me!!)
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience in this area? Should we take her back to A&E or leave it a bit longer? What are they likely to do if we take her back? Any advice is much appreciated!
