Hi. I Am A 60 Year Old Man Who Accidentally

Hi. I am a 60 year old man who accidentally swallowed a soda pop tab about 7 hours ago. I tried throwing it up without success and I still feel like it may be in my throat, even though I have drank a lot of fluids. It does not hurt when I swallow. The tab is rounded on all edges but may be a little jagged where it came off the can on the flat part of the tab. Do you believe this will pass through safely? What do you recommend to get it through quickest?
