Your body won't digest it. If you don't have any pain, you can figure it will pass.

if its a small bone or a splinter of a bone chances it will just go thru your system and you'll pass it but if its much larger it can lodge somewhere and make breathing difficult and cause damage to your insides if you swallowed a bone and concerned you can always contact your dr

It depends on the size of the bone. Assuming it made it to your stomach, it may just pass through your system naturally. I wouldn't worry about it.

your stomach acid can digest bone. also depends on the size. assuming that it was small in size, otherwise you would've choked to death on it, it'll get partially digested and the remaining bone material will pass. and trust me, you'll know when it passes.

if its jagged, you could cause a tear in your digestive system (ie a chicken or fish bone). if it just happened, eat some bread to try to catch and cushion the bone...

Your esophagus would be ruined. You'd need an operation to get it out.
