If it enter lung there will be sudden bouts of cough.
If the child is able to chew properly and swallow can give such foods but preferably after 4 years

If the child had any bouts of sudden cough while having popcorn . If not then you can wait and watch.
As such there’s not much of an issue as the baby is 2 years old and if chewed properly should not be an issue.
Next Steps
If any cough develops see the doctor and follow accordingly
