Yes, chewing gum is not harmful to swallow. I have asthma, I swallowed gum twice and one was pretty big, I obviously am alright. You don't need medical attention. It's sort of an old wives' tale.

your esophagus does not lead to your lungs....unless you inhaled it while you were swallowing, theres nothing to worry about.

if you swallowed it you're fine - if you inhaled it, you need medical attention.

Are you short of breath, having trouble taking a deep breath, does it hurt to breath, do you feel as if you are chocking - if not - you are fine

if you can breath and not choking dont worry

Unless you've been chewing that Asthma Triggering brand of Chewing Gum which doesn't exist, you'll be fine.
You might get a little bit of indegestion, though, as it takes weeks to fully digest.
