You must call your dr now

they probably have to do an imaging x ray or something

don't just assume it will come out though it might

My doctor said to just monitor since it's a very small piece of plastic.

It can pass on its own, or it can c"v puncture something on his insides. So don't assume anything. Call your doctors after hours emergency number and speak to someone over the phone now. Refuah Shelaima!

He's 10. I guess he was eating and didn't realize he swallowed it. My sister's baby once swallowed pins and the doctor took x-rays.
