Brief Answer:
gastroenterologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
ingesting caustic materials may cause harm to the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach or lower tract) which may present with pain, throat, chest and abdominal discomfort or soreness. Try to remember - just in case it happens again in the future - that inducing vomiting may cause even more harm, so vomiting should be avoided.
A gastroenterologist should assess her condition. Performing an endoscopy at this time may bear some risks. This is up to the gastroenterologist to decide.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
