If the screw is gold
And hoping that foreign body doesn’t get stuck in your upper airway and food pipe
The FB will be found in your stools which i recommend to check for confirmation
Any retained FB in the body esp in the upper airway and food pipe area will develop an abscess which would manifest in 48 hours
