Trachea: There is only one "wind pipe", and that is called the trachea. The other "food pipe" is called the esophagus. If you aspirated pizza into your lungs you would be coughing up a storm and not on the internet. Food sometimes feels "stuck" in the esophagus but it makes its way to your stomach just the same. Take smaller bites and eat slowly.

Mucus in my throat can't seem to get rid of the mucus in my throat. Swallowing and coughing them won't take care of the problem. I enjoy drinking ice cold water. Could this be the problem.
