Question : just swallowed an amlopodine tablet and it went down the wrong way and has been partically coughed up - my throat feels very raw but I can breathe
Brief Answer:
aspiration risk
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You recently aspirated your amlodipine tablet. Fortunately you were able to cough up the pill. I would keep aware of possibly contracting pneumonia after aspirating a pill. The signs and symptoms of pneumonia would include productive cough, fever chills and shortness of breath. If you develop any of these symptoms contact your medical provider immediately.
I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your health care concerns or questions
