Eat food: While a,pill can get stuck, more often, it scratches the throat and has already passed through the esophagus. Try eating food such as a banana or bread and follow with lots of water. Good luck

It feels like pills are stuck in my throat or food is not going all the way down. I keep drinking water and it only helps a little bit.
