What Causes Pain In Chest After Swallowing Nurofen Gel Capsules?
Hi, I M 19 years old. On Saturday I swallowed two nurofen gel capsules without water, recently after I felt a stabbing pain in my chest which stopped me from being able to stand and I curled over in agony. It s now Monday and each time I swallow there is a big pain and I woke up with a sore throat. Will this go away or should I see my GP?

nurofen gel capsule ( ibuprofen) may cause eosophagitis,
take rest ,
consult your G P for physical examination,
generally patients become alright its own within a week,
take fresh fruits,milk products,
avoid smoking,alcohol,cola,coffee,spicy ,junk foods,
can take ant acids,
your G P would prescribe P P I (OMEPRAZOLE ) for few days,
take care.
