A member asked:
I swallowed a whole cough drop accidentally two hours ago and now it feels like its stuck at top of throat. drank lots of water and ate.

Stuck sensation: Swallowing a cough drop should not be an issue. It has smooth edges and unlikely to get stuck, and will dissolve as you make saliva throughout the day. Drink fluids, and you will be alright!
