If small enough, it will most likely pass over a protective flap called the epiglottis, which prevents food from entering your lungs, then through the bronchial tube. In other cases, if the pea passes through the flap and gets stuck in your throat then you would choke. In some cases, pulmonary aspiration could occur, which is when a foreign material gets in the lungs. If you feel that the ea really did get into your lungs, you should go to the ER because it is possible that the pea contained bacteria that could enter the ling and cause an infection. Other than that just drink a glass of water and you'll be fine.

Inhaling a small object like a pea can cause it to get stuck in the airway, leading to difficulty breathing, coughing, or choking. If this happens, seek medical help immediately to have the object removed safely.
