If your child swallows a battery or a coin, according to Dr. Goyal, immediately take them to the ER. Do not wait, or bring them to a walk-in clinic that. Learn signs that your child has swallowed a penny or other foreign object, how long an object takes to pass, and when to seek help. Once it makes it to the stomach, it will usually safely pass. This may take a few days. These children need to be followed closely until the battery is.
