What Causes Burning Sensation In The Chest After Inhaling In Food?
I was laughing with my friend while eating a smartie and when i breathed in for a laugh i may have inhaled the smartie into my lung. What should i do and should i be concerned? The top right of my chest burned for several minutes in a small spot and now my right nostril burns.
Most probably, it is due to conditions like severe gastritis arising out of acid reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
Regards,
