Thanks for dropping by @neuralfoundry. For soft tissue injuries, tooth extraction, fractures etc., the early intervention does make a difference. You can apply ice over the top of the magnet as well. In fact, with wisdom tooth extraction you can pretreat and this helps even more. Many using Q magnets like this, report suffering little or no pain and swelling after wisdom teeth removal.
The risk with swallowing magnets is much greater with spherical magnets.
Not only are they much more enticing to swallow, but two or more will concentrate their pulling force into a tiny point. When they attract across tissue (like bowel walls), they act like a powerful pinching clamp, cutting off blood supply and crushing tissue between them.
While still a risk, this is much less likely with Q magnets because of their shape and size and the stronger models, 10mm and larger have a flux plate attached to one side. So even if two were swallowed, it does reduce the risk.
