Taken Pill,stuck In Throat,cough, Cold Flu.Swollen Epiglottis Or Pill?
Hi i just drink a pill and out of sudden I feel something stuck in my throat and i believe is the pill? I am so scared. I have done a millions of stuff. I tried putting my finger inside my epiglottis and i throw up my whole food. I tried and tried for the past 5 min. drink a lot of water and eat a bread. and it is not getting better. I feel it touching my throat and moving around which is causing to constanly cough. I just recently getting over a cold flu i had. I dont know if its the pill or the epiglottis that is swollen?

If the pill has blocked epiglottis you shall feel chocked and will have severe difficulty in breathing.I feel its a psychological sensation rather than really a pill or a (swollen) epiglottis.If you feel that you have a difficulty in swallowing this can be ruled out by getting an X-ray.Hope I have answered your query.Take care.
