I took Doxycycline Hyclate one night before going to bed. Big mistake. It was still in my throat when I woke up the next morning. I assumed the pill would eventually go down on its own. Boy was I wrong. The pill was stuck in my throat for approximately 4 days. I finally called a local clinic and one of the nurses told me to take some maalox and drink warm water. The maalox helped the pill go down. I also tried goggling with warm salty water. Then two day later, I had a headache so I took a ibprophin and drunk some apple just about an hour later. I started feeling nausea and I had stomach pains for about 15-20 minutes. All of a sudden, I began to vomit apple juice. I took a nap and when I woke up, I ate lunch and I had no problem eating. I no longer felt the heartburn while eating. I didn't even feel the pill. I am so happy that the pill is gone. I guessing it was the acid that's in apple juice. If anyone is looking for advice on how to make it go down, I'm pretty sure you could skip most of the steps I took and just try drinking the apple juice.
