I read this like three times and kept reading it as a round bread, not bead. And I was thinking why on earth is this person worried that her child swallowed a pea sized piece of round bread? And where do they sell these tiny pieces of round bread. I need to go to bed. ?

Hypothetically, your friend should be finding a bead in poop soon. ? if said bead was swallowed.

Yes! It should come out. How old is the child? My 2 yr old swallowed a nickel ? and online said if it didn’t come out after 5-7 days, take them to the ER for X-rays. My daughters came out on day 3. Thankfully she wasn’t potty trained yet, I had to go thru her poop and it was disgusting!! I literally wore a medical mask!!! It was like Christmas when I found it! I was SO happy lol.

Well I mean corn comes out in tact so your friend should be OK lol

I... I mean... My friend isn't even sure if it was swallowed. Lol

I dont see how a pea sized round bead would be any issue. I’m not a doctor or anything, but if change can be pooped out just fine, I’m sure a bead can too!

?? I’m fairly certain you can tell your friend that the child will probably poop it out but she should probably call a nurse advice line just in case.....

Hypothetically speaking of course.

Well I'm pretty sure I found a pop corn kernel today, so a bead should be fine ??‍♀️
