A member asked:
Iron pill cut half,take every night.last night felt stuck in throat,burned bad,gagging,now one side of throat is sore,hard,swollen.could this be pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The reason: why iron pills should NOT be cut in half is exactly your problem..iron itself is VERY irritating to the mucosa (lining) of the mouth,pharynx,espohagis etc. My advice is drink lots of MILK,,,eat some soft BREAD and drink more milk! A simple x ray (flouroscope) can see if the iron is still there' Hope this helps Dr Z
