You have swallowed plastic tongue ring ball it means that its in your stomach and not in your airways and trachea. Its a good thing.
If you are not having any respiratory symptoms like difficulty in breathing, cough, blood in cough or airway irritation, you can wait for 2 days during which the ball will pass in stool. Monitor your stool for this.
Meanwhile if you have severe abdominal pain, vomiting consult the doctor.
