What to Do If a Child Swallows a Cherry Pit?

After a child accidentally swallows a cherry pit, it is generally excreted within 5 to 7 days. It is recommended to consume high-fiber foods and closely monitor the child’s mental and dietary status. Additionally, allowing the child to eat more leeks can help promote the expulsion of foreign objects. Encourage the child to be active, which also aids in the excretion of the cherry pit. Consider using bowel movement-inducing medications if necessary.
