What Causes Itchy Throat And Mild Cough?

I was screwing in a small amber light bulb in the socket above the stove burners. As I was bent down to see the socket from below, and while my head was a few inches away from burner area, the bulb was dropped and broke near the burners and near my head/mouth. I felt something different in the back of my throat immediately, like possibly a tiny foreign object. I ignored it now for a few hours, and now my throat feels scratchy and I now have a mild cough. No pain, just scratchiness. Sort of afraid to drink or eat anything.
