A member asked:

Can you dry drown from accidentally inhaling a drop of coca-cola? tipped head back to get the last drop and went straight down no cough right after

No problem: The amount that went down your trachea was obviously small since no coughing was caused. Your broncial tubes and lungs can easily absorb this without problems.
