Question 4

pill is stuck in throat. water makes me want to throw up more and the food is piled on top of the pill.

Accepted Answer

Emergency room visit: This is a dangerous situation. If you are unable to get the pill and food down with water while sitting up or standing, you need this dealt with in the ER so you do not choke or aspirate (breathe in) the contents of your esophagus into your airway. The docs in the ER can clear out your esophagus, and make sure there is no physical blockage other than what you swallowed. Go ASAP.

See your doctor: A pill should not stay in your throat for 2-3 days.  If a pill got stuck, pills are designed to dissolve in less than an hour even stuck in your throat.  This might be something else, I would advise you go speak to your doctor.

Exam: Time for an exam, possibly with a special scope. It may have gone down and just left the sensation of still being there.

Globus sensation: The sensation of a lump in the throat is very common and there may not be anything stuck in your throat as long as you can swallow fluid and solid. See an ENT doctor if symptoms persists!

Question 10

i have a pill stuck in my throat, when i move my head/neck around it hurts; when i speak it hurts; when i drink or eat something it hurts?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: How do you know that the pill is stuck there. If you can eat and drink, it is not stuck there and there may be a different explanation for your symptoms. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician. 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
