Unfortunately, : Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do at home to get it out safely. If you think it may be stuck, you need to have an x-ray to see exactly where it is. If it is in your throat, esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach), or trachea (windpipe), than it needs to be taken out as soon as possible. Over time, it can erode through and cause huge medical problems - not just expensive, but life-threatening. If the x-ray shows that it is in your stomach, you maybe able to get away with watching it for a bit longer to see if it passes.

Go see oral surg: Get to an oral surgeon right away and have it removed. You do not want it to get lodged and have an infection develope.
