Drink : Drink lots of water and eat fibrous fruits and vegetables and it should pass through. However let your doctor know if you experience any abdominal pain, bloating or fever.

It should pass: It is most likely it will pass in the end. The only way you are going to know for sure is to look for it. An x-ray will show it if it still present but is probably overkill without symptoms.
