Does It Eating A Sharp Prune Pit Harm The Intestines?

I just swallowed a prune pit, the kind that has sharp edges. European prune. I tried to throw it up out of my throat but I couldn't. It was whole. I am not choking and I can talk.

Should I try to take something to throw up? will it damage my intestines?
Should I take something that will bulk up around it like psyllium? Should I go to the emergency room?
