Suggest Treatment For Feeling Of Food Stuck In Throat After Swallowing A Pill
Question: Hi.. I'm on flucloxacilling for a skin infection. 250mg four times a day. I didn't have any water so attempted to dry swallow. The capsule got stuck in my throat and I dint have any water for another half an hour. I felt a pain or odd sensation and when I drink something warm it was bit painful but its slowly going away but still kind of there. Should I be worried? Is the capsule contents a bit acidic? Could it have burnt my throat?
It gave me a bit of diarrhea too about two hours later

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the mucosal inflammation of gastrointestinal tract due to the dry ingestion of flucloxacillin.
I personally prescribed the following medicine if I am your treating doctor in this condition
1. Antacid such as rabeprazole with domperidon.
2. Gel mucain 2 teaspoon full thrice a day.
3. Stop the antibiotics.
After consulting with your doctor.
