Hi Lovely.

My DD did this last year although it was a considerably larger coin. Initially I laughed it off but a dr I work with advised me to get her x-rayed just to make sure it was in the stomach and not the lungs. Sound advice.

With regards to checking her poo - most dr's will tell you not to. We were told it can take 12 months for a coin to pass.

What to look for? Raspy breathing, coughing blood, sore stomach, projectile vomiting, constipation. IF she doubles over or has a sore stomach and is vomiting, straight to ED.

Feel free to ask any questions.
