Choked on food and bleeding throat

Hello, so i had a terrifying experience tonight and choked on food while alone to the point I thought i was going to die. Thank god i made it, but while doing so, I frantically dug down into my throat with my fingers and scratched out as much food as i can.

This resulted in me scratching my throat deep down and caused bleeding (food came out covered in blood) and finished it off by screaming out the rest of food.

Feel like an intense sore throat now. Hurts to swallow. Do I have anything to worry about with that? I plan to go to an urgent care to make sure, but do you guys think i need to?

Thanks
