Not likely. Risk factors for aspiration pneumonia are old age, drinking large amounts of alcohol, poor gag reflex, and being less alert from medications or illness. If you are otherwise healthy, you will not develop pneumonia by choking on water.

With a good cough reflex, aspiration pneumonia is not likely, a nagging cough may persist for a while.
