Answer #1

Any person who has swallowed a foreign object should be watched for pain, fever, vomiting, or local tenderness. Stools (bowel movements) should be checked to see if the object exited the body. This may sometimes cause rectal or anal bleeding.

A foreign object may get stuck in the gastrointestinal (GI)tract causing an infection.

Even sharp objects (such as pins and screws) usually pass through the GI tract without complications. X-rays are sometimes needed, especially if the person has pain or the object does not pass within 4 to 5 days.

So basically go to the hospital if you show signs of infection or if you haven’t seen it in your poo within the next 4 to 5 days.

Answer #2

Go to the doctor or tell your mom about it. I don’t know what it could do to you but you should get it checked out just in case.

One time my boyfriend took my ring and had it in his mouth and I went to get it and accidently pused it back in his throat, lol. He threw it up. It was gross and funny and I felt bad at the same time lol.
