Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history accidentally eating the chocolate wrapper.
And feeling uncomfortable.
I do not think that there is anything to worry as this will be crumpled by the stomach and pass on as a foreign body with the next stool.
You do not have to anything specials this would have already reached the small intestines.
You may please get an X-ray and see for the wrapper.
Watch the stool regularly and if the wrapper is seen on X-ray follow with the progress by further X-rays.
I find this answer helpful
