[|Human|] MY GRANDSON, AGE 10 MOTHS, MAY OF SWALLOWED A PLASTIC 1/2 CM PLASTIC BEAD YESTERDAY MORNING.. HE SAW HIS DOCTOR TODAY AND HIS LUNGS SEEM FINE. HOWEVER, WE JUST REALIZED THAT HE DID NOT POOP TODAY, WHICH IS UNUSUAL, (hE USUSALY GOES 1 - 2 TIMES DAILY) . HE S SLEEPING NOW, BUT MY DAUGHTER WILL BE CHECKING HIM ALL NIGHT FOR STOMACH DISTENSION, FEVER, ETC.. WHAT A conquincidence NOT POOPING TODAY OR IS THIS A CONCERN. WE WERE GOING TO CHECK THE POOP FOR A BEAD (IF HE DID SWALLOW IT, NOT SURE) WE WILL WAIT THE LONGEST TIL TOMORROW BY NOON.
[|AI|]  Hellos he is not coughing/chocking it seems that the bead is in the intestinal tract not in the airway. You doctor also made it clear that his airway is fine.It's good that you are observing him carefully for the distension and motion. It may take hours to few days to pass the foreign body in stool. So it may be just a coincidence that he didn't pass stool as you said. As it was a plastic material the chances of injury to intestinal mucosa is almost nil unless it get impacted. I would suggest you to feed your baby as usual and observe for the vomiting, abdominal distension or passage of foreign body in stool. Regards
