Go to ER: Best thing you can do is take her immediatly to nearest er , they will check and make sure it not lodged near air way passage that can make her chock . Most of the time once it enters he stomach she will pass it in the stool.

Depends on variables: If she can swallow a gulp of water without difficulty, the material has made it into the stomach. It will likely pass through without difficulty within 4 days. If the kid won't drink, can't swallow her own secretions, or has any retching; have her evaluated.It could hang up in the swallow tube.
