What To Do With The Pill That Got Stuck Inside The Nose While Swallowing?
I took an antibiotic pill (gel capsule) and as I was swallowing it - it went up my nose! (back of throat) and is stuck there - I could taste (horrible) the antibiotic so I know it either opened or partially dissolved - my throat is burning -but it still feels like there is something stuck in the back of my nose/throat - what do I do?
