How To Dissolve Gelatin Tablet Stuck In Throat Causing Nausea And Burning Sensation?

i swallowed a gelatin capsule and it feels like it is stuck in my throat, after it felt like it got stuck i developed slight nausea and a mild burning sensation. I drank half of a cup of hot tea and also some pepsi to try to dissolve the capsule, it has improved slightly but still feels like it is there. please help.

If you are able to drink tea there is no any chance of stucking capsule in throat. Please dont take hot liquids. Do frequent gargling. Take ice cream and other semi solids. Avoid hard diet for few days.
