Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
If pill struck in the esophagus or some where in food path due to not sufficient amount of mucous to glide it down. What happened some times the stretch of muscular ring like cricothyroid may cause these symptoms. For this painkillers with muscle relaxants may useful.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
