What Causes Throat Pain After Eating Extremely Hot Food?
Question: Several days ago, I swallowed very hot mashed potatoes and since then, when I swallow, I have pain. I have been taking Mylanta and Omeprazole. Is there anything else that I should do?
Brief Answer:
Sucralfate suspension
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This takes few weeks to hear. If you are taking omeprazole, you need not take Mylanta.
I recommend the following.
1) Continue omeprazole.
2) Avoid smoking and alcohol.
3) Avoid spicy and hot foods.
4) Drink plenty of water.
5) Sucralfate suspension. This forms a protective covering over the damaged area and also promote healing.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
