Posted on Mon, 4 Jul 2022
Question: this past friday was at restaurant where I ate a few bites of chicken, which would not go all the way down my esophagus. I went to bathroom and regurgetated (not vomited) it. Since then it feels like I have gas or something in lower esophagus. Have pain on right side intermittently. Have had some gallbladder issues in past--aggravated gallbladder.

Brief Answer:
Mild erosion and inflammation of mucosa.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Most likely your symptoms are due to mild dyspepsia with Gastritis. Esophagus is lined by a soft layer of tissue called mucosa this mucosa is some time breeched by food etc.

Suggestions,
Take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 40 mg for 3 days.
An anti inflammatory like ibuprofen twice daily for 3 days.
Take soft and bland diet.
You would be fine in a day or two as mucosa would heal up.

Thanks!
