General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for contacting HCM. You recently had trauma to your esophagus from the food you ate. This trauma is probably a tear from the forcible coughing and retching. This will take some time to heal. I recommend to help with the healing that you go on a liquid diet. This will allow your esophagus to heal properly.
