I swallowed a sliver of sunflower seed.is it bad?

I used to eat the shells and all, but now I eat a whole one occasionally...but mainly spit them out and eat seeds only. I just got done eating some...and I stopped when a sliver of the shell went to the back of my throat.I had no choice but to swallow. It hurt but went down with a few sips of coke.

I did have pain either in my lower throat or stomach.its not so bad now. Just a little worried I might tear up any lining in my system.what are the possiblities? Whats the worst that can happen and how do I know what symptoms I might have in order to go have a doctor help?

Answer:
I think your panic made your tummy hurt. A day from now, and a good poo and you'll be fine.
All things will pass.
nothing will happen it will just dijest and when you go have a poop it will be gone
Its ok, it will be gone soon.
There is a bigger risk of a sunflower plant growing out of your stomach from the seeds than of the sliver doing any damage.

Focus more on avoiding swallowing dirt and keeping your mouth wide open in the sunlight to avoid the former and you will be okay, all in all.
