Hello, I swallowed a plastic water bottle cap that was chewed to where the edges were sharp. It did not go down easy, and im worried it could cause issues. What should I do?

Most likely your body will be able to pass that out. If you have no symptoms then you should be ok. If you develop pain then you need to get to an ER fast.
The only way to track it would be with xrays but plastic may not show up very easily on the films.
