Eat a good meal and observe the symptom. It is uncommon for that accident to occur and become symptomatic. You should be fine and forget about the incident. If abdominal pain persists or gets worse with new symptoms such as bloating, nausea/vomiting, etc. you should see a doctor then. Good luck!

I agree with Dr. Le. Even if you did swallow a small piece of glass, it is unlikely that it would cause significant gastrointestinal problems. It most likely will be excreted in the store, and you will probably never see it, even if it is there. If you have worsening pain or other symptoms, contact your primary doctor or go to the emergency room. Good luck.
