Hi,
While choking the drink, it's quite possible you may have aspirated some of it into your lungs, which may cause aspiration pneumonia or lung abscess. it is therefore advised to do a chest X-Ray and meet your doctor so it may be properly evaluated and treated on time.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
