Suggest Treatment For Burnt Oesophagus

A week ago I took a gulp of a hot cup of tea and felt like it had burnt my oesophagus as it went down, few days later I developed pain like a burning to the base of my oesophagus where it hits my stomach. Every time I eat or drink now it feels like it takes ages for food to get past this point and burns like mad! I m also on antibiotics and under a lot of stress as my dad died 4 weeks ago suddenly! Is it anything to worry about?

Hi,Dear!!Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read your query and understood your health concerns.
Based on the facts, you seem to suffer from-Acute Dysphagia with Acute Esophagitis due to Scalding Burn injury.
Acute acidity from Acute anxiety with fathers death needs to be ruled out.

Remedy-
Liquid Diet-x 2 weeks
Milk with Rice- in porridges with smashed potato
Tab Zincovit-x 2 weeks
PPI-like Lansoprazole with domeperidone x 2 weeks.
Gaviscon Liquid- 2 tsf x 3-4 times with liquid meals.
This would resolve problems of dysphagia in 2-3 weeks time,as the burn seems to be more in your case.
EGD after 4 weeks to assess for any burn stenosis in esophagus.
Hope this would resolve your health complaints.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!

hi,you are suffering from stress.Stress can lead to ulcer in stomach and esophagus.here you have given history of thermal burn to esophagus.So here is chance of small ulcer at lower end of esophagus.For that take omeprazole 20 mg for 2 week.Mostly ulcer will heal with this drug in 2 to 4 week.
Try to avoid stress.Avoid smoke.Avoid heavy alcohol drink.Dont eat spicy food.
Take fruit juice more.Thanks.
