Took Aleve. Feel Stuck Up. Has Gone Down The Wrong Pipe?
im afraid the tablet of aleve i took last night might have gone down the wrong pipe. as soon as i swallowed it i knew something wasnt right. it was stuck somewhere near the middle of my neck , but after trying to cough it up, it feels like it moved up and slid slightly to the left but closer to the top of my throat . i woke up with a feeling that it still might be there, what should i do?

Hello,
The tablet can neither remain in food pipe nor in throat.
What you are feeling is due to local damage of mucosa of throat due to excoriation by the tablet.
Just wait and watch.
Your symptoms shall go way in next couple of days,once the healing of local mucosa takes place.
Thanks
