How Do You Dislodge a Pill/vitamin That Got Stuck? Posted: 10-15-03 15:23pm
About 36 hours ago I took some vitamins
and at least one has gotten lodged down
near my chestbone (probably still in my
esophagus), so I was hoping anyone had any
solutions as to how to dislodge it. I've
been drinking lots of water, eating
normally, even had some to with hopes that
it would melt the vitamin, but so far
nothing is helping and it is becoming
somewhat painful. Any help or advice
would be appreciated. Thanks

Dear aspen,
i think you need to get yourself off to
the doctor or hospital. If a tablet
hasn't dislodged itself or disolved after
36 hours, then you will need to seek
medical help, especially since it is
becoming painful. It is obviously stuck
where it is not able to be disolved.
Good luck...

do not swollow bread whole without
chewing, this could make your situation
far worse. I have throat issues and get
pills stuck, since it has been awhile you
should go to the hospital, they may give
you a muscle relaxant. The tissue around
where the pill could be swollen and
preventing the pill from disolving.
