Taken Pill Without Water. Throat Paining. Suggest Remedy
I swallowed a pill without something to drink 2 days ago, and now since then my throat and chest hurts when I swallow anything. It feels like something is stuck in my chest / throat. How long will this last, and is there something I can take? I have been taking antacids and it isnt helping. Made a doctors appointment for tomorrow morning. I am worried!!
1.Ideally nothing should happen after a tablet with out any fluids. 2.It could be allergic feel on the mucosal layer. 3.As a remedy - try to do salt water gargling if any localised allergy / oedema in the throat area will get healed. 4.Avoid junk and spicy food - as this type of food can be irritant - if any superficial damage has happened with the medication. 5.Dont worry - lastly i would think its just your feel - if possible ignore the symptom.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
