I don’t think there is need to consult , if no symptoms are there, Since it is most likely radio opaque, it may not show on an X-ray, but if it doesn’t pass through even after 48 hrs of ingestion, kindly do and X-ray abdomen , and visit a doctor

If baby is playing .. eating well then no need to consult .. We can do plain standing abdomen xray to see the position of the marble.. If in 48 hrs marble not expelled..
