Hello and thank you for asking in HCM.
I can understand your concern.
As you explain your situation it seems to me that some little food had probably in the wrong way had enter in the airways. The normal response of the airways is a strong cough with pain and sometimes with sore throat.
Usually it disappears with time and after some days you will fel better again.
If this cough continue for a long time may you should see a specialist and first do a chest X Ray.
So don't worry and keep calm
I wish you a fast recovery
