Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Relax,there is nothing to worry
Fireign body ingestion is common in children.
Staples have blunt end so nothing to worry.
It will pass in next 2or3stools.
Give plenty of fluids,banana,green leafy vegetables.
You can get him examined by pediatrician who will get anX Ray done to see location of pin.
Hope this helps.
Let me know of you have any further question.
Wishing your child good health.
God bless..
