What Can Happen If Stapler Pin In Swallowed Accidentally?

Hi doc, I accidentally swallowed a stapler pin while having my dinner last night. I felt something pricking my throat but drank water and it stopped so I continued eating. After a while I felt something under my tongue so I checked and found a stapler pin. I was worried so I tried throwing up and found one while throwing up. It s morning now and my stomach still hurts. Could there be more pins I swallowed accidentally?

I suggest you immediately see a general surgeon who might evaluate you for any more stapler pins ingested.
