Respected user , hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* If the capsule was in windpipe , you must be feeling intense breathing
problem , which is not present here .
* So do not panic , relax , manytimes this happens when capsule is big or
not coated properly or difficulty in swallowing .
Hope this clears your query .
Thanks .
