HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, it is definitely possible that damage could have occurred. You may need to see someone to assess the extent of the damage.

Avoid any spicy , hot or hard foods.
The use of pain killers would help to relieve the discomfort.

Soap is not meant to be taken orally because it can cause problems.

I hope this helps
