Possible: it is possible to cough out a pill if it was not previously swallowed properly.

Doubtful: You can check the immediate area to see if there is a pill, but once the pill goes down the esophagus it is beyond the reach of coughing. When you cough you close the throat so esophageal contents don't leave. Of course anything is possible- so check the area carefully for a pill.
