A member asked:
Swallowed capsule this morning, pill went down sideways. throat hurts since, could it still be stuck? wouldnt it dissolve by now? should be concerned?

Highly unlikely: that it is still stuck there. It most likely irritated the area when you swallowed it. If you develop any breathing problem or voice loss, it could have gone down the trachea. If pain persists beyond one day or if you develop breathing or voice problem, you should see a doctor.
