Probably safe: Bottle cap now likely in your intestine and beyond first to narrow areas, at lower end of esophagus and entrace to duodenal segment of small bowel. Cap must still pass into large bowel and finally out through rectum where passage may be very uncomfortable. Go to emergency room in case of severe abdominal pain and abdominal distension which could indicate bowel blockage/obstruction.
