If it had entered your trachea, you would have had a very strong coughing fit, as the cough reflex is stimulated when any material even comes close to the top of the vocal cords (which form the valve at the top of the trachea).
What you refer to is material sticking in the right pyriform sinus, an upside-down pyramid-shaped cavity found on either side of the Adam's Apple (larynx). You can rinse anything through these structures by taking several large gulps of water.

they do dissolve where it went is beyond me. However usually they are absorbed into the part of the body in which they usually rest in. And they are usually absorbed into the blood stream. USUALLY pills will do their job as long as they make it to the blood stream depending on what they were intending to do anyway, but it may take longer for the reaction to happen. Example: an aspirin is ment to go to the blood stream through the stomach. it works faster that way, however some people crush it and sniff it. It goes faster that way, but it hurts. But as long as it gets to the blood stream it will work.

I doubt it's in your trachea or you'd probably have coughed up a lung by now ;-)
Drink a glass of water or something, and it should go away.
