Swallowing Coins
Children have a tendency to swallow coins more often than any other object. Often, the coins will get stuck on their journey through the body.
A child who has swallowed a coin usually exhibits a sudden cough, choking, drooling, pain in the throat or the inability to eat or drink.
A trip to the emergency room will determine whether or not the coin is lodged in the esophagus. According to Harvard medical professionals, coins are usually passed within 12 hours, barring any complications.
