From your description, it sounds like this could be a reverse sneeze. These are not dangerous (unless it happens continuously, then we would need to look for a cause). Check out this video to see if it seems similar: https://youtu.be/U3L4v0W2_Sw If not, then a vet visit is probably warranted to figure out what is going on. I hope this helps!
