First Aid FAQ's

What steps should you take if you accidentally swallow a foreign object?

The first step is to contact your healthcare provider. They will provide guidance to help you determine what to do next. Do not make yourself vomit as it could make the situation worse.

Depending on what was swallowed, your doctor may advise you of symptoms to watch for while you wait for the object to pass, or they may recommend a trip to the office or the emergency room.
