well my 4yo swallowed a magnet twice teh size of an M&M.

should i let it pass or go to the ER.

i think i should let her try to poo it out but if she cant poo go to the ER

Jorsher

she will probably poo it out, just don't be feeding her metal

was it just one magnet? if it was more than 1 they could get attracted to eachother while in her intestines and that would mean surgery. if it was just one, id say let her crap it out. i doubt the doctor would say anything different.

con

check the poop to make sure it passes, if it doesn't take her in.

it was just one (according to my 7yo)

i figure if i take her to the Dr. now they will just wait to see if she drops a deuce then make a decision so instead of waiting in the ER with piles of sick and drunk people
my plan is to wave a peice of steel in the ******* and she if any terds start swimming


i am def not gonna give her x-lax but is there any food that speeds up the digestive sytem??

coffee speeds it up for me. also green leaf veggies.

Let her ---- it. As long as she doesn't have any bionic limbs she should be alright.

if she has a pacemaker, it can be trouble

it should go though her system within a day.

i'm a parent too, and there is no way i'd wait around though to see what happens. i don't know if an x-ray is safe with a magnet, but i'm sure it can't hurt to ask.

on a side note, if the 7 year old was present when the magnet was eaten, she'd be getting a tanned hide from dad for letting it happen.
