Throat Swelling, Soreness. Swallowed Coughdrop Accidentally. Difficulty In Swallowing, Chest Pain. Due To Swallowing Cough Drop?

I have some swelling and soreness in my throat and glands. I went to the doctor a few days ago and I have been prescribed some amoxacillin for the swelling and loratab for pain. Last night I took a cough drop and I m not sure if I fell asleep and accidentally swalled it or not, I feel something in my throat and when I swallow it does not move and I have a little pain in my chest. Do you think that I could have swallowed it and what would you diagnose me with?

Hello,
It could be because of the acidity or stomach upset that you have throat problems .
It could be because of amoxicillin,
tablet can not stay for so long it get diluted .
You should take antacids and multivitamins and have curd .it will take care of the stomach.
Amoxacillin is very good antibiotic , continue with that.
Take cold milk
