Answer #1

true - it could be just agitation of the throat lining. Follow the instructions about putting it in the middle and loading a mouthful of water Tilt back, and open up the hatch! all goes down, no problem there are pill splitters and pill crushers… crusher pulverize it to an extent, but the pill powder taste nasty on your taste buds…

Answer #2

What may have happened is that the pill briefly stuck to your throat and irritated the lining. So even when you washed it down the irritated lining made it feel that it was still stuck.

Next time put the pill in the middle of your tongue, take a mouthful of water (don’t swallow yet), tilt your head back for 2-3 seconds, and then swallow the water ( still with your head back). OR Take a bite of sandwich - or even plain bread - and chew it up. Then just before you swallow the sandwich poke the pill into the middle of the mass, then swallow.

Both methods will keep the pill from feeling like it is sticking to your throat. Good Luck!!

Answer #4

Answer #5

this has just happened to me it lasted about 5 minutes before I stuck my fingers down my throat for a while then pulled them out fast I tried to get as deep as I could this resulted in one massive coff and the pill landed in the bottom of the toilet the pill was vitamin d- pffft just shows you vitamins aren’t good for you

Answer #6

Hope you don’t mind me posting similar question in this thread…I have the same problem where I think the pill (which was a split in half pill) stock to the back of my throat for a few minutes. I think the pill’s no longer there but there’s a lot of residue and other funky crap and I feel like I have a spider web trailing in the back of my throat. Is there something I can gargle with that can clear this away? This crap is sticking to the back of my throat, feels really creepy and has been giving me quite a sore throat… Is there something I can gargle with that can break this crap up?
