Inhaled chewing gum

Question

Inhaled chewing gum

Asked for Male, 20 Years

While laughing on a joke I inhaled air quickly due to which the chewing gum which I was eating went down my throat , I'm not 100% sure that it went through my food pipe , I have a cloggy feel in my wind pipe (maybe its bcoz I coughed too much to remove it its the mucus clogged ) so I think its stuck there , but , is it possible that the chewing gum didn't enter my lungs and stuck near my throat bone ? Also I have no breathing and problems and cough no fever nothing but still I want to be sure that feeling near my throat bone is not of that chewing gum in my wind pipe . plz answer my question
