Answers:
This is called aspiration (liquid going into the windpipe), normally as much as one drop is enough to burst into coughing and more coughng, this is what you want to do!. Now, the worst that could have happened is laryngospasm (the windpipe closes) and this is very scary!. Evidently this did not happen!. Now, listen, it is very possible that you will be coughing sporadically here and there!. The Pepsi does not contain anything toxic and your defense system should take care of that!. Now, if the cough PERSISTS day and night, see your doctor in case there the fluid went too dep and caused damage!. Most likely you should do fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't panic!. I do this sort of thing way too often!. The lungs are designed to force out unwanted substances, and you'll cough out most of it with no harm to yourself!. The rest will bond with your lung's mucus and it will eventually go, too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
