What Do You Suggest For Inhaling Down The Wrong Pipe?
I was testing the texture of a small elbow noodle as I was cooking it, I must have inhaled and it felt like it went down the wrong pipe. I coughed, it seemed to clear, but i have a feeling in the back right side. What should I do? I am nervous that I may have aspirated.

Dear madam i understand your concern.let me explain some things for you.the tube we use for breathing is called air way.This air way is very sensitive to foreign matter,even small dust particle also will make us to cough for 15 min.as per you if noodle aspirated in to airway in my opinion you will have sever cough and breathlessness.since you don't have this kind of complaints...just relax it may be some dust you will feel better in no time.....regards
