I swallowed the end of a pen?

I was doing homework and chewing on the end of my pen. It was one of those cheap bic pens that have a cap. well the end cap poped off and i accidently swallowed it. I cant feel it like its stuck or anything. Should i see a doctor or what. The piece was only like a 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch at biggest if that helps

Your body is capable of passing some foreign objects (things like coins, legos, pen caps, etc..) Just make sure you watch for it (i know its gross) to make sure it has passed. If after some time it doesn't come out you should see a doctor. Also if at any time you get a pain in your stomach or see blood in your stool go to the doctor right away. (don't post in on here)
