Yes. it can go up into back of throat nose. Try blowing nose or gargling with water. Try not to inhale it when doing this. Some pills will produce burns is they sit in one place for a time. If it is hurting and feels like it is still there now may want to go to urgent care.

Water/saliva makes my throat tight; goes away if I don't swallow or eat something solid. Slightly relieved by pressing tongue against roof of mouth.

I was taking a pill and when I tried swallowing it, it got stuck near the back of my tongue. I was able to move my throat to push the pill out back into my mouth, but I'm worried water or the pill got into my lungs. Should I be concerned?

I just started getting this but when I drink water or swallow anything with my eyes facing the ceiling (head up) it hurts terribly. It feels like it on both sides of my neck and Im not sure what it is. Thanks! (Also hurts when I yawn?

The back of my mouth but not exactly my throat hurts. Its more like a pain rather than the typical sore throat. It hurts when i move my tongue, swallow, and drink water. Any ideas what i should do?

Does the plan b pill work still if it completely dissolved in your mouth but got stuck on the roof of your mouth but I swallowed all the dissolved pill down with water? Not sure if I need another if dissolving doesnt work?
