What Should Be Done After Pill Getting Upto Back Of Nose After Swallowing?

I was taking an Excedrin Migraine pill, obviously for a headache, and it feels like the pill went up the back of my nose. When I drink water I can feel it moving. How can I get it to come down without having to sniff salt water up my nose? I am 31 and 5'4

ENT Specialist 's  Response
hello and welcome to health care magic,

It goes without saying that if you feel that the pill is stuck in any part then you must get an endoscopy done with an ENT surgeon and get it removed as soon as possible

You should not try any other methods that will cause more harm than good
