Is Inhaling Ice Cream Conerning?

I had a small portion of ice cream on my finger and breathed in while i was putting it in my mouth. It went Dow the wrong pipe but I didn t choke because it melted. My parents said I m fine but I feel funny I m not sure if it s because I m nervous which usually is the problem

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
There is no need to worry.
Windpipe has got protective mechanisms that prevents things from entering it. Since you didn't choke it is unlikely that the icecream entered your windpipe.
Since you are otherwise fine, there is no need to worry.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
