Is The Dry Cough Caused By Dysphagia On The Mend?

I swallowed a flaxseed oil pill and it got stuck in my throat. There was a burning sensation in my chest along with difficulty in taking in air. It finally went down, but now I have a cough with some mucus (mostly clear to light yellowish). The cough is frequent but doesn't always produce mucus. Should I see a doctor or is this on the mend?
