How long does it take for a swallowed coin to pass through a 5-year-old's system, and what should I do next?

Patient's Query

My 5 year old son swallowed a coin. The x-ray shows that the position of the coin is not complicated and the child is not showing any kind of discomfort. within how many hours will the coin normally pass through the system? what should I do next?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

If your child shows no signs of distress and the swallowed coin is in the simple position it should move on its own within 24-48 hours. But you should closely watch your symptoms, stools, and bowel movements during this period. You needs to refer to the pediatric gastroenterologist for further investigations and treatment.

Female | 25

Ble­eding, swollen skin can happen whe­n teeth break the skin. Swe­lling might mean bacteria got inside the­ wound. First step: Wash hands using soap and water. Next: Apply a fre­sh bandage. If it worsens or pus appears, visit a doctor. Keep it cle­an and monitor changes closely.

If you have any side effects or drug interactions you should talk to your doctor. They can assess the unique requirements of your case and alter the treatment plan for you.

Do i need to get revaccination if a vaccinated dog against rabies bit me under span of 5 months , i was already vaccinated.

Male | 23

Did you know that if you're bitten by a dog that was already vaccinated and you're also vaccinated it's still a good idea to see a doctor? Rabies virus is a fatal virus that can also be spread through biting, but it is rare. In case you didn't know, always get a revaccination because it might still be enough for your safety. You can have a fever, headache, and be disoriented when rabies strikes. In such a situation, visit a healthcare provider.
