Can A Pill Get Stuck In Nasal Cavity Even After Swallowing It?

Can a pill get stuck in my nasal cavity even though I swallowed it? I felt something moving around on the inside but figured it to be gas. But now as I lay down I feel like it s a capsule of a medication I took earlier that is stuck and moving around.

HI.he simplest way is to get an ENT endoscopy to confirm or rule out the suspicion you have.
If you are feeling this just being in the nose ,either pull in or push out with the air you breathe.
Do not worry; not seen such a case in lifetime .
