What Precautions Should Be Taken Upon Choking On Activated Charcoal?

Hello, I may have swallowed an activated charcoal capsule down the wrong way...into my windpipe. i ve been coughing for about half a hour and my airway feels irritated, but I m not having any trouble breathing. I keep drinking lots of water. Is there anything I should do, or will it just go away?
