Airway foreign bodies can be quite frightening...and lethal. It's a good thing that is did not get lodged around the vocal cords. I believe someone on here told a story once about a child out in the garage with dad and the child inhaled a bolt or nut and died. It's more common than you think.
Glad your daughter did well.
