Chances Of Food Particles Getting Struck In The Lungs?

Hi, I was eating blueberry jam with a cracker last night and I felt how some of it went down the wrong pipe, I started coughing and I am sure some of it got out, but I think some of it may have still went down the wrong pipe. What can I do? Can an x-ray show such small particles of blueberries if they are in the lungs?

Thanks for Contacting HCM. Most likely your body has coughed out whatever has entered in your wind pipe, sometimes a feeling of irritation persists for a few days after such episodes. So, no need to worry and just relax. Regards
