Don't over think it.(don't just do it but don't dwell on them getting stuck). 3. Don't panic if a pill doesn't get all the way down.( In the case of a stuck pill try more water first, if still in there have a small bite of food. I know that it can sound scary to put more on top of a pill that is stuck. but take the bite of food and follow with some more water.(or ensure for thickness). This has always worked for me and some of my HIV pills are huge. The worst you can do is panic, or try to get the pill back into your mouth from your throat. The food part is directly from my MD. Happy swallowing. And congratulations on getting the tube out! Shawn.
