Hello,
Vigorous vomiting can cause good particles get trapped in air way.
In your case it might have impacted in the upper throat and nasal cavity otherwise there will be choking and it was not there in your case.
Nothing much to worry as it will settle even with out treatment.
You can do a nasal irrigation to clear the particles. Use normal saline or fresh water and instill to your nose slowly, it will clear of the impacted food particles and you will get relief.
