Hello,
Usually, some kind of foreign body feeling everyone experience in a lifetime but since you say you noticed something went inside, then you should be a little cautious.
If you want you can get indirect laryngoscopy done to see if there is any foreign body. If so, then it can be easily removed under local or general anesthesia. But do not leave that like that because it can cause granuloma and might require an operation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Archana
