Suggest Treatment For Esophagus Pain
Swallowed some soup a few days ago with tofu in it which was much hotter on the inside that the outside apparently. Could feel it burn in esophageal area. Now it hurts in the same area a couple seconds after swallowing food and a little bit in general. Will it go away? Thanks.

Hi,
Swallowed hot food, drink, may cause the thermal injury to oesophagus condition.
May not need any specific treatment but care need to be taken for further eating or swallowing hot food for a drink.
Have a more cold drink, cold milk on tentative basis local anaesthetic containing antacid can be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
