Wound On The Lower End Of Food Pipe Due To Hot Food. Suggest Solutions For Quick Healing
Hi I ate a bit of black pudding the other day, when I swallowed it the middle must have been roasting hot as it burnt the lower end of my food pipe. I drank liquid quickly to cool it down but I've been in pain for days now especially when trying to eat. It feels like there is a wound there what should I do ?
