No the 'swallowing' action takes stuff to your stomach. But maybe if you cough, breath in while you are eating, food could get into your trachea. This sometimes happens when you are drinking but you cough and cough to get the water out. If a pill got into your trachea you would cough to get it out and I don't think it would go all the way to the lungs.
