Yes.: It is highly unlikely to be stuck in your throat. You may be feeling some irritation in your esophagus from the pill, but I'm certain that it went down and is working..

Pill feels like stuck in throat. (Gel capsule Keflex) feels like it went sideways, is this possible? I ate some bread, it went down fine. Could it still be stuck after drinking and eating bread?

Pill stuck: Build up some saliva in mouth next time before taking pill. Then swish pill around in your mouth in this saliva then should go down nicely.
