yup

If something is in your windpipe, it can cause breathing difficulty, coughing, choking, or even noise when trying to breathe. You can get something caught in the esophagus as well (tube from your mouth to your stomach)- ex. like a chip not chewed enough, that causes discomfort but does not impair breathing. Usually- in the case of a chip per se- drinking fluids to moisten it and the natural wave-like movement of the esophagus (peristalsis) will clear it. Foreign objects, such as a child swallowing a coin, are a little different, because they're not food.

yes
