As the title says I have a tablet stuck in my throat for a couple of hours now. I always have problems with larger tablets or big chunks of food and normally it clears after a few minutes with a lot of water.
But this time I am not able to swallow any water or food as it comes up straight away again.
Any tips?

Medical attention. Especially since you stated you can’t swallow any water or food because it comes straight up.
This may seem simple, but they make pill cutters for just a couple of dollars.
ER or doctor ASAP.
Maybe expensive, but not to be trifled with. Get medical taken care of now, worry about other things later.
Go to the hospital or wait for it to dissolve a little ( if it is one of those tablets and not a capsule)
In future you might want to spilt the tablets in half or pour it in water
Try smaller sips of water or small bit of food like bread. Try moving your neck and throat in a different position, more extended, and try cough and water and food again.
get some applesauce or yogurt, i get this a lot cause i had bad GERD as a kid. your esophagus can build up a lot of scar tissue and won’t squeeze effectively
You need to speak to a doctor. I’d recommend an emergency room.
Pills when dissolving can cause severe damage to your throat, damage that isn’t necessarily repairable.
You need to speak to a doctor and get medical attention as soon as.
I had a pill stuck somewhere in my esophagus for an entire day, but I was still able to eat and drink. Eventually it went down, but if I hadn’t been able to eat or drunk I’d have gone to urgent care
I’ve had the same thing happen twice now, it really sucks, just stay calm, try to not let your brain trip you out, because eventually it will go down u just have to keep trying little bits of water , trying to get a little bit to lube it up, I know, do it over a sink because it will come back up, key is to keep trying because eventually small amounts, moisture and pill degradation will all come together and that bugger will go down. Or try to force yourself to throw up, and that also will work…
A couple hours? Time for medical intervention.
Crush pills in applesauce.
