What Should I Do After I Accidentally Inhaled Food Yesterday And Had A Coughing Fit Followed By Chest Pain And A Sore Throat?

Yesterday I inhaled a piece of food I was eating and had a coughing fit and was coughing up phlegm and mucus for a few minutes. I could breathe the whole time but coughed with every breath. After a minute or so I was able to stop coughing. Throat was sore all day, but today I woke up with a little chest pain and a sore throat. Do I need to go see the doctor?
