How to get rid the foreign object that is swallowed?
Patient: My child swallowed a foreign object 2 weeks ago. It is still in him. The drs don't know what it is. They said to watch and wait. Yesterday his left eye swelled shut and then last night the right eye did the same thing. Can it be related to the object in his stomach Doctor: Hi.....I don't think the swelling of eyes is related to the object that's swallowed. The alternate swelling of eyes could be due to his position during sleep. But if the object swallowed is high in lead content due to its coating its not good. If it's already 1 week then I suggest consultants a pediatric gastroenterologist and getting it removed  endoscopically.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
