I drunk a mouthful f water and had a reflex where i was going to spurt it out my mouth, instead i swallowed it s ko and it felt like it went the wrong way down, could this cause a problem e.g.could this have entered by lungs, should i be worried?

That's fine: If you don't have any normal swallowing issues it's unlikely for you to have aspirated anything into the lungs. Even small aspirations are generally safe.
