Can A Small Piece Of Broken Glass Be Swallowed?

A glass fell off a shelf & shattered. I didn t remember that I had set my drink down on the counter before, this other glass dropped & broke. I took a sip of my drink after cleaning up the broken glass & felt small but sharp pain in back of my throat. I threw rest of my drink away. I vomited once & I ve scratched at it. I feel it s shifted & now it feels a little bigger than I first thought but still relatively small sliver of glass. Should I go ahead & try to swallow it?
