I don't know what you've had to eat, but when I feel like I have a pill stuck in my throat, drinking a really thick milkshake or eating bread helps me at least thing I'm scraping it from the side of my throat.. also, try drinking something really hot to melt any tiny bit that could maybe be stuck.. I don't see why it wouldn't be, as those pills can dissolve very quickly in moisture but some can be left behind.. Health Question & Answer

Most likely your parents are right, but if it keeps bothering you ask them to look down your throat with a flashlight..lHealth Question & Answer
I'm an expert at this.. Alright first you have to relax because by showing fear you inflame the throat area.. The best way to relax is to slowly breath in through your nose..
Now it will wiggle it's way down,but if you think you inhaled it then call the emergency room and just ask them.. Stay relaxed.. You are not choking and everything will be okay..
Have some toast and water ,but VERY VERY little amounts at a time..
Next time you swallow pills this is waht you should do..
1) Swallow water first as it lubricates your throat..
2)Put pill on tongue..
3)Pour a decent amount of water in your mouth WITHOUT swallowing..
4) Now with pill and water still in your mouth CLOSE your mouth and swallow and it will go down like food automatically..
REASON: Because when you drink and swallow there's an unknown fear that you will inhale the pill so it gets stuck because you tense up..
So as proof close your mouth and breath in.. the air goes though your nose right.? So when you have water and a pill in your mouth and swallow with mouth closed trust me the fear is gone and the pill goes down easy.. Keep mouth closed when swallowing!Health Question & Answer
