How to get a pill down your throat when its stuck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink it down: It depends where it is stuck.But most pills will pass down if stuck in esophagus by drinking water.But if it is stuck in the throat before it has to be swallowed then you can either swallow it down through the esophagus or simply cough it out and try it again,Most adults can swallow pills without any difficulty.
