I was taking a pill and when i tried swallowing it, it got stuck near the back of my tongue. i was able to move my throat to push the pill out back into my mouth, but i'm worried water or the pill got into my lungs. should i be concerned?

Choking?: If you choked on the pill, there is a possibility that a fragment was aspirated. The pill may dissolve, become reabsorbed, but if you develop cough and fever, please see your Physician.
