Can Choking On Water Cause It To Enter The Lungs Or Lead To Dangerous Complications Like ‘dry Drowning’?

I was drinking water really hard and fast because it made a funny sound and then I choked on it pretty hard and I’m just not sure if it can get into my lungs or cause any damage I should be worried about cause I know there’s such thing as dry drowning or whatever
