Hi. If a safety pin has been swallowed, it'll definitely be painful. If it is stuck near tonsil, it may be visible. If there is a doubt that a safety pin has been swallowed, plz visit a ENT specialist at the earliest and urgently. It can cause a lot of problems if left in the throat.
Warm regards, Dr Aanchal A Mittal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
