Suggest Remedy For Capsule Stuck Up Feeling In Throat
I took a doxycycline capsule last night. I woke about 3 hours later with a feeling it was stuck in my throat. I drank hot water, ate bread, banana, apple. Still didn t remove it/the feeling. I tried gargling this afternoon which made me vomit but the feeling is still there. Help!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that when the tablet was swallowed there was minor injury to the throat but it is not likely that it is still there after the use of the food and drink mentioned.
The injury would cause the persisting feeling as though the tablet is still present.
This should improve within then next 24 hours.
I hope this helps
