What Should Be Done For Capsule Stuck In Throat?

Hello
It is highly unlikely that the capsule would be stuck since the capsule is supposed to dissolve in water.
If you do not have fever, vomiting, neck swelling or difficulty in swallowing, you can rest assured and dont have to visit a doctor!
If you develop any of the above symptoms, meet your ent doctor immediately.
Thanks
