Non-obvious symptoms
that might occur
because of battery
ingestion
Unfortunately, it is not obvious
when a button or coin battery
is stuck in a child's esophagus
(food pipe).
There are no specific
symptoms associated with this.
The child might:
• cough, gag or drool a lot;
• appear to have a stomach
upset or a virus;
• feel sick;
• point to their throat or
stomach;
• have a pain in their
abdomen, chest or throat;
• be tired or lethargic;
• be quieter or more clingy
than usual or otherwise "not
themselves";
• lose their appetite or have a
reduced appetite; and
• not want to eat solid food/be
unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms
vary or fluctuate, with the
pain increasing and then
subsiding.
A specific symptom to
button and coin battery
ingestion is vomiting fresh
(bright red) blood.
If the child does this seek
immediate medical help.
