I've had a pill stuck in my throat for like 2-3 days and it's really painful to eat and drink anything and nothing helps getting it out of my throat ?

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.
