Brief Answer:
5hours is okay!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about swollen throat. 5hours is good enough to still get to the doctor without any difficulties. even if the tablet was stuck in the throat, the greatest threat would have been right now. As times goes on, it will eventually dissolve if it did get stuck and make the risk even lesser. Continue to drink as much fluids as possible until you meet your doctor.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
