Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my bf have been throwing up whatever he drinks...he said his throat is like burning up. he had chest pains and losing sleep because of that. he went to 2 doctors already and they both said it was an allergy and gave him Rx he took it but after all the medicines, its still the same. it is affecting his sleep, his family are getting irritated and its affecting his work. i told him to see a specialist on throat to check it...is an endoscopy an option?
hello, thanks for your query, repeated vomiting episodes can cause ulcers over throat,can lead to infection causing severe throat pain. as such he doesn't require endoscopy in present scenerio. let him continue antibiotics , antacids, antiemetics to resolve the infection. hope I have answered your query. all the best. take care.
