Can An Infant Swallow The Cap Of The Medicine Bottle?

Hi, I gave tylenol to my 6 months old baby. I went to the room n came back the cap of the bottle was missing. It would be 1 to 1.5cm in length. Is it possible that my baby would have swallowed it?? She is normal and went to sleep. But iam worried. Please help.
