How Can A Bottle Cap Be Removed From The Stomach?
Good afternoon, My 13 year old son was chewing on a water bottle cap and began choking on it. He tried to bring it up but swallowed it instead. I m concerned that it may not pass and he may have problems passing. Do I need to take him to an ER or do I need to wait to see if he has issues? Thank you,

Hello,
So a water bottle cap is large enough to get stuck in intestines. It will be good if you can show him up to a surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
