Is It Physically Possible For A Baby To Swallow A Large Coin Without Gaging?
Curious...my daughter 10 months old...got a hold of some quarters. My son had set them where she could reach them unbeknownst to me. Anyway...she made no choking or other sounds...and when I realized what she had I took them away. I am not positive whether or not she could have swallowed one? Is it physically possible for a baby to swallow a coin that large without gaging?

Yes it is possible. Go & get X-ray done.
Nothing will go waste than a perfect diagnosis.
If coin is inside it will look in x-ray.
