Can Choked Potato Wedge Cause Shortness Of Breath And Swallowing Difficulty?

Hi, Im 13 years old, 14 in April. I Play sport competitively and train at least 4 times a week. Today after a match i had a bag of potato wedges and when i was half way through i kind of choked on a wedge and was short for breath. I Was Ok after a few seconds but later after my dinner i was finding it very hard to swallow my saliva. Its still been the same after 2 hours. Thanks
