It's called "Laryngospasm." When you swallow something wrong, your throat tightens to keep it from going down so you have a chance to cough & clear it out. Takes a while for the spasm to stop & that's why you feel like you still have a lump in your throat.
darn, can't beat Susan T-0
It scratches the flesh of the larynx when it closes to prohibit the food from entering your lungs. You will cough for a little while due to spasms however sometimes even after you stop coughing it still ca hurt (if say you swallow something sharp like a chip). But not to worry even if it feels like the food is still there a while after it's unlikely it is, try gargling with salt water to help it heal faster: )
