Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms can be related to minor trauma due to choking.
The mucous will gradually heal itself,there is nothing to worry about.
If the symptoms continue or you have infection symptoms you should see an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
