Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I swallowed a piece of hot food too quickly about 36 hours ago. I felt it burning my esophagus as it went down. I reached for water but it was too late. My esophagus now still hurts (tender) when I swallow food. Is there anything I can do to help heal this? Are there any long term complications from a one time burn to the esophagus? Thanks.
