I choked on milk about 2 hours ago. my chest hurts now. am i okay?

Yes: When you get food or drink into the trachea it can get irritated and cause some inflammation. This is normal and your body reacting to the milk getting into your breathing tube (trachea). It should resolve in a few hours to a day. If not or if you get short of breath or a fever see a doctor right away.
