Question
An 9-month-old baby accidentally swallowed a plastic bead about one millimeter in diameter and began experiencing dry heaves and vomiting symptoms on the third day. The parents asked whether this situation was related to swallowing the bead and whether the bead could be expelled naturally.
Answer
Medical professionals recommended an abdominal X-ray to determine the bead’s location and take further measures to promote its expulsion if necessary. They also reminded parents to pay attention to child safety and seek medical assistance when needed.
