Monitor for fever: If you had a good bout of coughing that usually is the reflex that prevents water from being aspirated, if you are otherwise healthy. If you feel well now you don't have to worry. However if you continue coughing and develop a fever or difficulty breathing you should see your dr for possible aspiration.
