Just took a clindamycin capsule. it took me a few try to get it down so it was already soft. i finally was able to swallow it i started to cough. im not sure if the pill or some of my drink went down my windpipe. would i have choked if it was pill?

If the pill did indeed go into your trachea, you would definitely know that you inhaled it. If you have persistent coughing that lasts more than a few minutes, see your doctor or go to the emergency room. Good luck.
