The two year old I watch may have swallowed my older childs' "Pop the Pig" cheeseburger game piece. It is the size of a quarter, 1 cm tall.
There is a call into her pediatrician as well as mine since her mom couldn't get through to her doc since we were concerned with whether or not it will pass through.
The child called my name to show me something was in her mouth so I rushed over to her and by the time I got to her she had thrown up a very small amount of pretzels that she had just finished at lunch. I asked her what she had in her mouth and she said it was a pretzel. I asked if she put a game piece in her mouth and she said no. I asked her again "What did you choke on" and she said pretzel again. She had just gotten done with lunch in the last few minutes before this. I didn't think I saw a pretzel in her mouth. I cannot find one purple cheese burger. (We were also missing a red one, but that one was found under the couch...my point being is I am not sure if all the burgers were there to start with.) My first thought was that it would be to large to swallow without actually choking.
Has this or anything similar happened to anyone? I feel awful and scared. I cannot say with 100% certainty either way. Please withhold any "they should not have that game because the pieces are too small" etc. as I already feel awful and have learned. When this happened, I was within sight and earshot.
Thank you for any help.
