Suggest Treatment Difficulty Swallowing Along With Chest Pain

I ate a mouthful of spagbowl off a wooden spoon whilst it still boiling in the pan, and I swollwed it as it was too hot to hold in my mouth. It left me with a really sore chest on the inside. I find it had to breath laying down with out it hurting and also I find it difficult to Drink and eat cold and hot food/fluids.

Hi..
Welcome to HCM.

So sorry to hear about your problem and will try my level best to resolve it..

As per your complain it seems that you have got heat burns in the lining of the food pipe due to heating very hot food leading to inflammation, ulceration and pain as well as painful swallowing..
The inflammation and pain will subside gradually as the healing will proceed..
Nothing to worry, start taking proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole or pantoprazole along with coating gels like Sucralfate after getting prescribed by a local physician..
Take a soft and bland diet and also take cool milk and plain yoghurt..
Taking spoonful of honey can also be relieving..

In case of no improvement consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
