Hi,Rk,
Thanks for query,
Nothing to worry,if it is swallowed then it will pass through gitract and will come out through stool.
problem may occur if it is stucked in upper respiratory tract or in the throat.
If pain and vomiting is not there,gradually it will come out.
Go for ultra sound to know the position.
Ok and bye.
