Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Food particle going in air pipe , is to be tackled by homeostasis
mechanism of our body to protect the respiratory tract in form of
chocking by food particles .
* So it is the normal physiological response of the body by irritation of the
overlying mucosa to get reflux cough , vomiting & throw away that any
particle from the respiratory tract to protect yourself from any threat of
respiratory arrest .
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for any other assistance .
