How Can Pain In The Throat Due To Citrucel Intake Be Treated?
Question: I swallowed two Citrucel tablets that seemed to blow u p in my throat and I started to choke with pains in my chest and esophagus area. I went to emergency to check out a heart attack and that cleared. I have not taken any more Citrucel tablets which I routinely take every 8 hours since my colon surgery 4 years ago. My esophagus area still hurts and I worry if I can every take Citrucel tablets again. Thank you.

Hi,
You should avoid taking any more tablets. Avoid any spicy food and aerated drinks.
You should get an endoscopic examination of the throat done.
Any tablets can cause such feeling if struck at any point in the throat.
If you have the feeling of tightness or something stuck in the throat than A complete examination is must rule out any pathology in the throat or esophagus.
Take syrup ibuprofen and syrup antacid. This will help to relieve symptoms.
