Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have burning sensation in the food pipe post intake of Ibuprofen . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to two reasons :-

- Firstly it can be due to acid reflux , which occur due to dysfunction of esophageal sphincter .

- Secondly it can be due to ibuprofen due to its side effects .

I would suggest you to take alternative of ibuprofen like aspirin , avoid eating spicy and heavy food , take light walk after every meal and eat small and frequent meals . Avoid acidic food and drink as well . If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe proton pump inhibitor and H2 blockers .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
