You might not: If you are otherwise healthy and coughed hard enough, the particles might not have stayed in your lung. I think if they did you would still be coughing some. Watch for shortness of breath, labored breathing, decreased exercise tolerance, worse cough, or fever. Any of those occur go get examined.
