Throat stuck and irritation

2026-02-16 06:51:05
Yesterday I took a capsule with my usual medicine, drank some water, and lay down. Since then, I feel like something is stuck on the left side of my throat with mild tightness. When I swallow saliva, it still feels slightly stuck. Please advise what I should do or which medicine may help.
