Suggest Treatment For Painful Esophagus Inspite Of Having Hot Food
I swallowed a piece of hot food too quickly about 36 hours ago. I felt it burning my esophagus as it went down, but, by the time I reached for water, it was too late. My esophagus now still hurts (tender) when I swallow food. Is there anything I can do to help this heal? Are there any long term complications from a one time burn to the esophagus? Thanks!
