How Can A Pill Stuck In The Esophagus Be Removed?
Hello, I have a pill lodged in my oesophagus and it has been in there for multiple hours. I have tried eating and drinking and many other methods of dislodging it.

Hello,
Foreign body esophagus needs rigid oesophagoscopy for removing it. But a pill can go in the stomach with water, if not take antispasmodic dispersable tablet Dom-DT. It will solve your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Masood Khan
