Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough After Having A Stuck Pill Inside Throat

I was swallowing a probiotic pill when it get stuck in the back of my throat. When I drank some water and tried to swallow it to get it down it felt like it went down the wrong way. I began coughing a lot but only bits of water no pill. How do I know if it went into the lung?
