hi
don't worry much ,usually ring will not be stuck in ur throat.
it might have injured the mucous lining if the pharynx or larynx .
ur sensation will come to normal in one week.
if u have swallowed it will come out in ur stools.
if it is stuck it's more painful and gets infected and forms an abscess.
so if pain still present for 2 or more days ,consult ENT surgeon for endoscopic examination
