Brief Answer:
Quite possible. Drink water. Rush to ER
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX
Thank your for posting your question.
It is quite possible that the fish oil capsule had an interaction with the coffee. Or you may be having an allergic reaction to fish oil.
There is no literature available which says coffee can have interactions with fish oil.
So I suggest you drink water in sips (preferably cold water), and please go to a hospital/ER as soon as possible to see how bad the condition is.
If it is an allergic reaction and gets worse then you might have breathing difficulties, hence I am urging you to go to the ER to be on the safer side.
If you feel it is not that severe and you are able to tolerate that, then you might consider swallowing a local anesthetic syrup which will make the burning go away. But I would still suggest you see a doctor at the earliest.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to write to me if you have any more questions or doubts.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX
Thank you for writing back,
Pardon me for not addressing the question about hip replacement, when I started writing the answer your second question was not yet posted hence I missed it out.
I am happy to know that you are fine and hope you did not have any major problem because of the fish oil.
To answer your question. Yes, hip replacement can indeed cause some loss of height, this is because the femoral(thigh bone) head and neck are replaced with a metallic head and neck, which generally are made in standard sizes, as each individual is unique, an exact fit may not be possible, even if the head is of the right size, the neck generally is shorter hence there will be some amount of loss of height.
I hope this clarifies your concern. Than you again for writing to us with your health concern and I hope we have been able to help you with your problem.
If you don't have any further questions, please close this query and rate the answer.
Wishing you good health.
Warm regards,
