Had my tooth (upperjaw) extracted 3 hours back and in the opposite jaw surgical incision for repairing a broken tooth (root canal done and cap slipped off). Both upper jaws were anaesthetised. Now I had a bad time swallowing the antibiotic. Thought I would choke to death! Cut the pill in to half, still had difficulty.is it normal? Always hated swallowing pills but today was struck in my throat for half an hour.
