Hi Sayali

Give the child tissue salt silicea 6x 3 pills 4 times daily for next few days. Feed the child with plenty of fluids too. It should be passed in poop. Inspect poop for that. Once it's passed you can stop the medicine.

Eventually Panny would come out, surgically or by itself. Give the child some lubricants like butter, olive oil etc.

It it is US or Canadian coin:
Zinc toxicity is a very common occurrence, symptoms may last long time if ignored.

Toxicity

Zinc, a major component of post-1982 US cents, is toxic in large quantities. Swallowing such a penny, which is 97.5% zinc, can cause damage to the stomach lining due to the high solubility of the zinc ion in the acidic stomach.[10] Zinc toxicity, mostly in the form of the ingestion of US pennies minted after 1982, is commonly fatal in dogs where it causes a severe hemolytic anemia.[11] In pet parrots zinc is highly toxic and poisoning can often be fatal[12].
