Swallowed a Pen

Swallowed a Pen

About two weeks ago, I swallowed a ballpoint pen while I was purging. I don't know what to do and don't want to go to the doctor. What is the likelihood hat I will be able to pass it? Also, what are the possible complications? Thanks.

I do not understand how you swallowed a pen if you were using it to induce vomiting... 2 weeks ago? Are you symptomatic? A perforated bowel is what you'd be most worried about... and you would have been in serious pain.

If I were you, I would go to the emergency room.
