What Causes Cold And Sore Throat After Taking Gravol Gel Capsule?

I swallowed a gravol gel capsule 11 hours ago and it felt stuck in my throat all night. I have a cold with a sore throat and now it feels like the empty gel capsule is still stuck in my throat. Hot water and liquids isn t helping. Will it dissolve on my own or do I need to go to the ER?

Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

it is actually the feeling of stuck when u take a capsule . some times the coating sticks to the side of the wall and gives that unpleasant feeling. do not worry it will dissolve on its own.
take your normal food and water and it will remove the feeling.

if you are having cold then take medication for cold like
tablet levocetrizine 10 mg only at night
also otrin nasal spray will help one spray trice a day.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
