Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Harpic is a corrosive and it damages the inner lining of the foodpipe and stomach.
The treatment depends on the severity of the damage caused.
To assess the severity there is a grading system.
Kindly upload the endoscopy report so that I can see what the grade of the severity of injury is.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
