My 12 Y Old Son Swollwed Whole Peppermint An Hour

My 12 y old son swollwed whole peppermint an hour ago , he was not choking but he said it was stuck in lower throat we gave him water to drink because it was at the santa clause event , he got cookie to eat to make the peppermint go faster to his belly, there was a policeman who came to us to see how is my son he said there is no need to call 911 bwcause the candy will dissolve. An hour past, i gave my son a cheesburger to eat so he can push it more towards the stuck candy he says he is kind of still scared but sure that candy went to his stomach. Should i still keep an eye on him? He is doing well, drinking hot tea now , breathing ok. How long it will take untill the candy dissolves?
