3 yo choked on piece caramel candy. it was 20 secs before i realized he was choking. vomited and spit rest out. fine now. anything to worry about?

Not to worry: Doesn't sound like there is anything to worry about. As long as he is breathing fine now and no persistent cough over the net week, he likely got it all out without any problems. Just a warning to people caring for young kids - they may not be able to handle as much as you might think.
