How To Remove The Glass Marble From The Stomach Of A Child?
Hi, my 6 y/o child swallowed a glass marble and it has not come out for almost 3 weeks now. He is perfectly normal, he eats and poops regularly. We had his xray and showed marble is in his stomach but no idea why it has not come out until today. What should we do?

Hi.... the best way to do that will be to consult a paediatric Gastroenterologist and remove the glass marble by endoscopic route.
