I burned my stomach while eating

Guest over a year ago

So I was eating a hotdog the other day and it was really hot! When I swallowed it I felt it burning my esophagus and the top of my stomach! Now when I eat it still hurts when food gets to my stomach...why can I do to feel better? Thanks, Sue

I'm afraid there is not much you can do - for now, but to adjust your diet so that you give time for the esophagus and stomach tissue to heal. Obviously, you should avoid warm food, but also don't go to the other extreme with icy cold food. Try to eat mushy, easy to swallow food for a day or two and chew everything well so that chunks of food don't irritate the burn further. And maybe you should use antacid in the evening to prevent the possibility of stomach acid irritating the burns further (the stomach acid tends to reflux to esophagus at night). But if it doesn't get better in a few days, you'll have to see the doctor.

I ate a spoon full of food right out of a boiling pan, and it burned my mouth and stomach real bad. I have blisters from the burn, and my stomach hurts too. I don't know what to do. Any advice?

I was eating a hot waffle and as it went down I felt a burning feeling at the top of my stomach. It has been there for a couple of days now. How can I help it?
