What Procedure To Follow After Choking?

Went to hospital 2 days ago with with choking from lamb bone. Almost passed out. Was put on oxygen and drip. Had xray, only found patches where the bone had lodged. ENT checked through nose and found nothing. Breathing okay now but have a terrible cough and still can taste the curry lamb on the bone. Chest soar. I am 67yrs old and healthy.
