Dry Swallowed Small Sized Doxycycline Pill, Discomfort In Esophagus. How To Get Relief?

My 20 yr. old daughter dry swallowed a small sized doxycycline pill last night and today she is having discomfort in her esophagus . She can swallow liquids and eat but it is uncomfortable. Are there certain foods/liquids that she should drink or eat to help this and even certain food/drinks to avoid? In other words what should she be doing and how worried should I be? Thanks

DEAR SIR/MADAM

WHEN YOU DRY SWALLOW ANY TABLETS IT WILL CAUSE LOCAL IRRITATION AND INFLAMMATION OF THE FOOD PIPE. IT WILL COME TIMES CAUSE AUTOMATED SPAMS IN THE FOOD PIPE, LEADING TO ALL THESE SYMPTOMS

DOXYCYCLINE INGESTION MAY CAUSE
1. MILD NAUSEA WITH VOMITTING.
2. ABDOMINAL PAIN WITH BLOATING.

BETTER DRINK LOT OF COLD WATER IT WILL CORRECT THESE SYMPTOMS TO SOME EFFECTS.

THANKS
