Difficulty breathing, noisy wheezing ,shortness of breath,chest pain persistent cough or fever would be symptoms requiring an evaluation in the emergency room. Otherwise you can sit tight.

A tiny bit of Gatorade in the lungs should not cause a problem . If a large amount gets in or this keeps happening, then it can cause aspiration pneumonia.
