Hi, there. Why are you taking naproxen? Are you dehydrated? Can you swallow a sip of water or another beverage? Try sipping small amounts of liquid. A bit of a soft banana can also aid in moving a stalled pill so that swallowing is comfortable again. If this doesn't resolve, be sure to visit an ER.
