Since she was able to drink the juice after, we know the rubber band made it safely into her stomach. It will pass quietly in her poop in 1-4 days. Ingesting such objects is common at that age. I don't consider it worth an ER visit or any worry. if her throat pain persists contact her doc for guidance.

I took a Tylenol maybe three hours ago, and it feels stuck in my throat. I've tried drinking warm water, eating ice cream, throwing up, etc. It doesn't hurt to swallow or anything, it just feels stuck. Also I have bad acid reflux, and I have anxiety.
