Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are talking about aspiration of pill in lung.
This is very very uncommon thing. So no need to worry for this.
Actually the size and smell of amoxicillin tablet can cause similar kind of vomiting sensation.
So better to take anti emetic drug like domeperidone before taking amoxicillin.
Take amoxicillin with plenty of water and take it slowly.
Don't worry, this will not happen again if you take the way I have told. No need to worry for aspiration in lungs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
