The capsule is stuck in my throat, I can't swallow it and I can't vomit it out.

Patient's question:

My mom ate two soft capsules two days ago. It might be because the boiling water was a bit too hot. After taking them, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her throat, as if something was blocking her esophagus. Two days have passed, and it hasn't improved. She vomits when she eats. What should she do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello
According to the situation you mentioned, if your symptoms can be ruled out as the possibility of the capsule shell sticking to the esophagus. Suggestions: If it has been this long, even if it stuck to the esophagus, it should have dissolved by now.
Recommendation: Check the condition of the esophagus and stomach
The above is for reference only.
Wishing you good health.
