Could Swallowing A Coin Cause Constipation To A 3 Year Old Child?

3 year old swallowed a coin 2 days ago but hasn't passed the stool yet. Other than that she 's acting fine no loss of appetite or fever or anything like that, but she poops almost every day or every other day. Should I be concerned, could this coin be causing her constipation?

Ingestion of coin should not cause constipation.
Give her a banana a day, which will also help in expulsion of the coin.

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life
