What Do You Suggest For Inhaling Down The Wrong Pipe?

I was testing the texture of a small elbow noodle as I was cooking it, I must have inhaled and it felt like it went down the wrong pipe. I coughed, it seemed to clear, but i have a feeling in the back right side. What should I do? I am nervous that I may have aspirated.
