A member asked:
I accidentally got water to go down the wrong pipe. i wasn't able to cough it out on time. will i be fine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, relatively common. May be followed by a good cough spell that will eventually clean the airways. Much more problematic with solid substances that may get lodged.
