What Could Happen If Neurofen Is Swallowed Without Taking Water?
I swallowed two neurofen tablets without water and felt they got stuck . I drank a bottle of water ten minutes after but it has now been a week since and I still have pain in my chest especially when I swallow food or drink anything. Please can you give me some advice- will t his go away? Age 38 58kg, female 1m60

Hi,welcome to healthcaremagic forum.
From your description,it seems like an ulcer has formed in your esophagus.It will take 7-10 days to get healed.You can take acid lowering drugs(like omeprazol) to prevent acid reflux on to the ulcer,along with paracetamol for pain.Adding B-complex capsule is good.If pain persists beyond this,it is probably infected,and need antibiotics too.Meanwhile,avoid smoking(increased acid secretion),hot and spicy food.
