Stud: usually most small objects will pass in the stool without any problems. If you have any symptoms like abdominal pain the FU in ED

Likely will pass: As per dr Singh but also go to the emergency room if coughing or breathing troubles as the other place it can go is down the trachea (windpipe).

Ingestion: Depending on the size; if less than 1 inch should pass. Follow up for any symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, fever or blood in your stool. All the best and follow as indicated.
