Small one rupees coin sollowed
My daughter Sollowed small one rupees coin on Wednesday night. I consult with doctor he said that wait for 48 hrs and do X-RAY test if she has not any complication. Today I did Stomach X-RAY and showed to doctor he told that coin is at small intestine as per X-RAY Report. Doctors also advised wait for 6-7 days the coin will come out from stool and then do X-RAY one more time after 7 days. My daughter's daily activity is normal. kindly suggest me how many days it will take coin to come out from small intestine to stool.

Hi.
If the child is asymptomatic you can wait for a week and keep checking for the coin in the stools. Repeat scan after a week if the coin is not found

Mostly coin in the small bowel is passed out spontaneously by a weeks time
check the childs stool for the coin .
If the coin is not eliminated even after a week, you need to visit as your doctor has already said
Health Tips
visit the hospital earlier if child has vomiting, severe abdominal pain, fever, or intestinal bleeding.
