I swallowed part of a toothpick

2018-05-26 02:24:02
Long story short, I accidentally swallowed about 3/4 of a toothpick. It was in my food, and I didn't realize it was there. I went to the ER, and they told me I should pass it without an issue. Basically just drink Meta Mucil until it comes out. It's been 4 days now, and it still hasn't come out. Should I start getting worried?
