How Can Earrings Be Removed From The Stomach?

Yes...I just took my Pm meds. Then I went back to get a glass of water for my room. I had taken off my stud earrings and had them in my right hand. Went to the frig April, got ice and then water. On reflex I put what was in my right hand (earrings) into my mouth, took water and swallowed. As soon as I did...I realized what I just did. 1/4 studs with back attached. What do I do now?
