We were in his room and he's like "Guess what I ate a nail." I was like "omg, really" "Yeah." Then he went to the doctor and they could see it in him.

I would think there would be a danger of the nail poking a hole in his intestines or colon. If that happens he is in for a lot of trouble.
Surly if it showed on the x-ray, the doctor knows the danger.
I hope every thing works out OK for him, but if it were me, I'd be worried. He could end up with a colostomy and that's not fun.
God be with you and him.

If it is a large metal nail, then it probably needs to be removed, as if it has a sharp point, it will not come out very naturally! But if its a small (a centimetre perhaps) nail, then it may come out naturally, but with some pain. It is best to get it removed though, as the point is probably sharp.

When he hears a clink in the pan the nail will be out if a little rusty. Nothing to worry about

it will pass through the natural way. i am sure that the doctors explained that to you when they saw it on the xray.
my husband swollowed a needle when he was younger and he pass it in his stools.

What YOU should have done immediately is tie a piece of string to a magnet get him to swallow it and retract the nail, easy when you know how.

Its possible that his stomach acids will dissolve it.If not? Tell him to be carefull when wiping his ****.Extra strong loo paper might be an idea too. Maybe Izal,. [if you remeember that stuff?],would be an idea :P

It will come on out if it has passed his actual stomach. That is the general rule: if it passes through the stomach, it will pass through the intestines.
