Swallowing food
I was taking my medicine today and as soon as I swallowed it I felt like it entered into the wrong pipe but I don't have any sensation of cough or any discomfort. What I want to know is can food go anywhere else other than stomach and if it can what should be done ?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Food can go in food pipe itself.
If it doesn't then, you would cough very hard.
So what you think you felt, then there is nothing like that.
Its gone into food pipe itself.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
