What Is The Treatment For Bump Developed After Swallowing Bleach?

I swallowed some bleach about 2 hours ago. It was about 2-3 tablespoons worth. My stomach doesn t hurt,but my throat hurts very badly and it burns when I swallow. I also discovered a little white-ish yellow filled bump (similar to a pimple) in the back of my throat near my tonsil. What should I do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of swallowing 2-3 tablespoonful of bleach that has caused pain and little whitish yellow fluid filled bumps at the back of throat near the throat.
I would advise the following in such a situation:
First of all, get relaxed.
Drink plenty of water orally, Rush to ER that they may do a gastric wash if you reach in time.
They will give you antibiotic cover, Mucaine get 3 hourly.
If the trauma is too much, you may be advised for intravenous fluid.
Take therapeutic dosages of Vitamin A and D for early healing and good recovery.
Please do not try anything at home.
