: There is no easy answer to this via this forum. You may want to speak to a doctor via telemedicine, but best speak to your primary care doctor. I see this as a long-term issue that would take a few visits to settle

I took a Tylenol maybe three hours ago, and it feels stuck in my throat. I've tried drinking warm water, eating ice cream, throwing up, etc. It doesn't hurt to swallow or anything, it just feels stuck. Also I have bad acid reflux, and I have anxiety.
