What Causes Burning Sensation In The Esophagus?
My 16 year old daughter ate very hot cobbler and as she swallowed it began to almost cry because it burned terribly as it went down her throat but even more so the further down into the esophagus it went and here 2 days later it s still hurting her mostly when she eats but also when she exercises it begins to hurt. She says the wind and the breathing hard during exercising hurts. Is this something to worry about and what can we do to help he healing process????? Thank u! Lisa

Hello
Sorry to know about the incident.
It seemed the hot food has caused her oesophageal injury.
It is necessary to visit gastroentrologist.
Assessement of injury has to be done upper GI endoscopy.
Intravenous PPIs and antibiotics need to be given for a week or so to help oesophagus recover.
Wish her speedy recovery.
