Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your details. Please be calm. Your doctors know what to do. They have the child with them. They can also see the coin in the x-ray image. Once they say that the coin will come out through stool, it will. Stomach is capable to move anything and everything through the small intestines and large intestines. Don t worry. 80 to 90 % of times, a coin or a small penny will pass on its own, as it is round with soft edges, and eventually comes out with stool. The coin passes through the digestive system and is expelled within a day or two. However, it is necessary to keep a keen eye on your child. It can be an emergency situation if there are the below mentioned symptoms: Your child cannot speak or cry, and has trouble breathing He is drooling and cannot swallow Your child is coughing or is breathing noisily He loses consciousness If your child is doing well, and does not exhibit any symptoms, then you may as well wait for the penny to pass out through the stools. Though consulting a pediatrician is recommended, do not self medicate by giving laxatives to your child to hasten the process of excretion as it may not help. Neither will forcing your child to gulp food. If you are scared, or feel helpless, the best option would be to seek the doctor’s advice.
