Suggest Remedies For Pain In Throat After A Pill Swallowing Incident

About 5 days ago, I swallowed a pill that did not go down properly. It felt like the pill was lodged in my esophagus, near my breast bone. Since then, it has been painful to sallow. It has been so painful that I am only eating about 1/4 of what I normally do. It still feels like there is something lodged inside of my body by my breast bone (this causes a stinging pain all the time). I also have had what feels like indigestion in the morning and when I burp, but Maalox brings no relief. Lastly, about 3 days ago, my mid back started hurting out of nowhere, and has not stopped hurting. What should I do? Is this something I need to see a doctor about?

Hello,

Don't worry possible causes are like

1. Pill induced mucositis.
2. Acid reflux with irritation.
3. Secondary bacterial infection.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pantaprazole before breakfast for one week.

Use syrp sucral two teaspoons thrice a day for five days. Avoid solid foods and just drink liquid for three days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
