Any Suggestion When Vitamin Goes To Right Side Of Tube After Swallowing?

I swallowed a vitamin and it did not go down the tube meant for swallowing. It went down the right side of the tube. I am still breathing, but I can still feel the vitamin and it feels uncomfortable. May I ask if I should be worried? What should I do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
Swallowing vitamin and feeling that it has gone to one side of the tube that is esophagus as you still are feeling the vitamin and feels uncomfortable although breathing normally can be due to the capsule getting disintegrated into the esophagus and thus your feeling that you have explained.
If the breathing is normal there is no passage of capsule or vitamin in the respiratory tract for sure.
Yet to confirm you can get a X-ray of the chest.
Take plenty of water orally and your problem may be solved.
