Why Am I Feeling Tightness In Chest After Swallowing A Hot Zucchini?

Yesterday I heated some zuchini for lunch in the microwave. When I put a small morsel in my mouth it was too hot so I swallowed it. Now it feels little tight in my chest. I believe it hurt my espahgous in in its mid portion. Do I have to do something or will it heal on its own? How long will it take to heal

May I suggest you have regular paracetamol for a few days (max 2g if you are lighter than 50kg) and consume foods which are soft like yogurt and not too hot over the next few days. Your oesphagus is likely inflamed but will restore with the aid of paracetamol (reduces the inflammatory process).
