### Patient: Doctor, I think I have swallowed a small object, and it's stuck somewhere in my digestive system. What should I do?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, I recommend we perform a radiographic imaging procedure such as a plain x-ray to locate the foreign body. Depending on where it is, we may need to perform an esophageal dilatation or tracheoscopy and laryngoscopy with biopsy. We'll also need to provide intravenous fluid replacement and perform nonoperative removal if possible. In some cases, we may need to consider intubation to ensure your airway is clear.
