How long will your throat be sore after swallowing a pill the wrong way?

your throat should not be sore. It may feel a little funny at the least. You can not swallow a pill "the wrong way" If I were to guess you had the pill graze against the lining of your esophagus. It will leave a weird feeling for a couple minutes.
(The above current answer is condescending - obviously the throat of the person asking the question IS sore.)
Describing my perhaps similar experience may be helpful. Several times over the last several years (once about 4 hrs ago) - an insufficiently chewed hard chunk of fruit or salad vegetable (tonight it was slices of apple that caused my problem) feels like it 'gets stuck' when swallowed. After considerable coughing and spitting, although the offending object is apparently expelled, I am left with a 'sore throat' that I dare not swallow with because it is sore (bruised? strained? lining grazed?), and it feels like something may remain stuck in the throat which could go down the wrong way if swallowing is attempted. After three or four scary hours soreness subsides to the point that swallowing can be gradually and cautiously resumed. Keep to liquids and soft foods. The slight soreness continues to gradually recede and takes a couple of days to completely disappear.

Has anybody here ever had a Clindamycin (antibiotic pill) stuck in their throat and had difficulty swallowing afterwards for more than a week? *I'm getting an EGD, scope of the esophagus done tomorrow to see if the pill is still there or if it's an ulcer, etc. I'm nervous.
