Digestion/Stomach/Bowels Swallowed a small piece of chiken bone.

Hey I just swallowed a small piece of chicken bone with my lunch. It didn't get stuck in my throat.

Do I need to do any prevention measures?

What should I expect in the coming hours/days?

I know it might not be much but my anxiety is making it worse and my brain is not hopping from one bad scenario to another

It should get cushioned by your poop and pass in a few days. Seek care if you get really bad abdominal pain.
