What should I do if my child has swallowed a battery?

This is an emergency!

Take your child to an Emergency Department immediately.

If your child is >12 months old (1 year old), can give honey, 10ML or 2 teaspoons, every 10 minutes while you are on your way to the Emergency Department.

If your child is <12 months old, do not give your child anything to eat or drink.

If you are unsure, seek medical attention immediately!
