This too shall pass: We have lots of experience wit such issues in kids who will eat almost anything once. If the material did not get stuck in your swallow tube (you can drink fluid okay) it will enter the digestive system & pass out within 4 days. For some such objects ingesting stewed okra will congeal around the foreign material & smooth its edges allowing easier transit.
