Kindly more information is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to aspiration which is the passage of liquids or food in the lungs.
It can happen to everybody sometimes.
I would like to have more information to help through the diagnosis.
Does this happen to you frequently?
Do you have the feeling that something is stuck in the throat?
Do you have difficulty in swallowing food or liquids?
I will be waiting for your response to help you better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
