I got choked on my saliva as i was preparing to eat candy. and like it really choked me up good because like that was like a few hours ago and i still have a cough and my chest still hurts. should i just take a cough drop and sleep it off?

DYSPHAGIA: This may be just a one time occurrence for you. If this becomes a repetitive event, I strongly urge you to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist for a formal hypopharyngeal examination.

Dark brown honey: or cough medicine like Robitussin DM (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan). You inadvertently inhaler some saliva. Discomfort should disappear with 24-48 hrs.. If still uncomfortable get checked at ER or UC clinic
