My six year old daughter was at summer camp and swallowed a staple that was connected to her school papers etc... She said the staple was closed and slid down her throat fast. She said it hurted going down but now it does not hurt anymore. What should I do?
I suggest you immediately take her to an emergency room and get her abdomen X-ray done. It will show immediately if it is still there. The kid might need serial x-rays to determine the movement and position and the need for endoscopic removal if it is stuck somewhere. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
