    It’s a TRV head. You can unscrew it with the ring under the black area - may need an adjustable spanner to loosen. When you take it off, see if the rotation works and that the pin inside moves up and down. You can also check the metal pin/valve where it attaches isn’t stuck (it may need quite a bit of force to check - could need whacking with a hammer if it’s actually stuck). If everything seems OK, re-attach the head and see if it’s working. If it isn’t, new heads are cheap. What you have looks like what I have - cheap generic TRV heads, easy to find online.

    Crushed up in jam is how I took paracetamol when a kid - if we’d run out of Dispirin. Couldn’t and wouldn’t swallow pills until I was prescribed some (quite large) antibiotics in my 20s. To take those, it was put it in my mouth and keep drinking water with my head back until it went down. It took quite a lot of water! These days I can take them with less water, usually just a sip.
