Pill stuck in throat

Have an antibiotic for a UTI stuck in my throat. It feels more like it is stuck on the right side. I tried vomiting, eating bread, drinking lots of liquid but to no avail it seems like it is still there and it is quite bothersome. What else can i do?

Re: Pill stuck in throat

I too have expierenced this problem. I was taking lorazepam and zopiclone (sonata) for insomnia and as they usually have very noticable effects, some nights I found them innefective. I was baffled, until one night when i started coughing heavily and regurgitated the intact pills, which apparently were lodged in the back of my throat.

If pills get lodged in your throat, try drinking something first, so your throat isnt dry when you swallow it.

Re: Pill stuck in throat

Its probably a lump or bruise, not the pill. Most pills dissolve in liquid.

I will never again take my vites at 3:00 a.m. Insomnia is not full wakefulness. Two cinnamon tabsules ( pills that look like capsules) stuck in my throat and expanded. I googled and found several sites suggesting bread, applesauce yogurt, water, how to swallow,etc, and I tried everything Called the local ER about 8 hours later, local snow and wind with advisory going. ER nurse:so long as I could breathe and talk suggested warm liquids, and the cinnamon may dissolve. What finally HELPED was a warm soft mushy microwaved potato, with me trying not to eat any skin. I felt it dislodge and I am almost "there"-- some pain in back of throat-- maybe an irritation. I am eating with yogurt. This is almost 24 hours later.
