A member asked:

Is it bad to drink 3 liters of water a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: If you live here in arizona and work outdoors in the summer, the 3l may not be enough. Other areas of the country it might be a bit much. If you have normal kidney function you may just spend more time in the rest room, .

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.
