Yes I want you to save your coins...but not like this!
Esophageal foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency, most often affecting children under 5. Coins are the most frequently swallowed objects, but items like button batteries and magnets pose severe risks.
Symptoms include drooling, vomiting, dysphagia, and respiratory distress.
If ingestion is suspected, seek immediate emergency medical care.
