As long as the child is not chocking, they should be fine. If you take them to the doctor, you will need to get an xray and the advice will be to watch over the child for the next several hours. (My child swallowed a nickel in 1987)

The dime will pass through the stomach and other digestive organs until it eventual comes out in the child's stool. You will be able to retrieve the dime soon though I would not suggest retrieving it. Toilets are not clogged by dimes. Neither are diapers, if that's the case.

What will happen if a child swallows small magnets?

I think that the child will die because of the chemical that is in the magnet,if it swallows a magnet.Ans. 2Almost all really small magnets are ferrite, or other similar ceramics. These are not water soluble, and therefore won't poison anyone. The only real danger is if the child swallows lots of small magnets; magnets attract each other and could form a clump large enough to cause an internal blockage.
