Should I Be Worried About Accidental Swallowing Of A Hard Candy?

I just swallowed a crystal light hard candy that is around one inch in diameter. It was only in my mouth for around a minute so it didn't melt enough to be small. I swallowed it down, but I am worried it might get stuck in my esophagus or maybe clog up my small intestine.
