What Will Happen If Thyroid Pill Stuck In Wind Pipe?
I swallowed my thyroid pill about an hour ago and it sort of "hung" in my throat. I've kept drinking a lot of water to try to be sure that it goes on down, but it feels a bit different. If it had gone down my wind pipe I would be coughing, wouldn't I?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not the pill but any goes in trachea immediately expelled out from the trachea and if it is in there then it would be medical emergency demands the immediate attention, so it might not be in trachea but must be in esophagus hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
