What to do if a pill gets stuck in your throat?

The best way to deal with illness is to take medicine, because medicine is a specially made substance used to treat diseases and has a very positive regulating effect on people's physical health. However, medicine is not a panacea. Many people will encounter some unexpected situations when taking medicine. For example, pills can easily get stuck in the throat and cause discomfort. Let's take a look at what to do if a pill gets stuck in the throat? I hope everyone can understand.

First of all, you should be careful when taking medicine. If you feel that you have difficulty swallowing it, take less at one time. Before that, you should understand the correct way to take medicine and know how to make it easier to swallow.

Second, if the capsule gets stuck in your throat accidentally, you can drink a few sips of water first to see if you can swallow the medicine. Perhaps the medicine will fall down under the impact of the water.

Third, if you still cannot swallow the medicine after drinking water, you should try to eat some food. You can also drink some water while eating the food so that the medicine can be swallowed together with the food and water.

Fourth, if it still doesn’t work, you can also look at where the medicine is and see if you can get it out by coughing hard or using something.

Fifth, if all else fails, it’s okay, the capsule will dissolve sooner or later, but the process may be uncomfortable, but just bear with it for a while.

Sixth, in short, you should drink more water, so that the medicine can reach where it should go as quickly as possible. It is uncomfortable to be sick, and it is also uncomfortable to take medicine. If the medicine gets stuck in the throat, it is because you take the medicine incorrectly or carelessly, so you must pay attention.

It is recommended that you take larger pills or capsules orally with warm water in the future. It is also recommended that you go to the hospital to check the cause of neck discomfort and pain, so as to make a clear diagnosis and provide reasonable and effective treatment. Pills rarely get stuck in the throat, and if they do it's generally not a big deal as they will dissolve on their own.
