I experienced heartburn two days ago and now have sharp pain while swallowing. Should I take medication or will it resolve on its own?

If you had heartburn two days ago and now feel sharp pain while swallowing, it is likely due to irritation of the food pipe from acid reflux, and it often settles on its own. You can take an antacid once daily for a few days, avoid spicy or acidic foods, eat small meals, and drink plenty of water. If the pain worsens or if it does not improve in 2 to 3 days, it is best to get checked by a doctor.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing sharp pain while swallowing after heartburn. This could indicate irritation or inflammation of the esophagus, possibly due to acid reflux.

Here are some important points to consider:

  • Occasional heartburn and mild discomfort often improve with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter remedies.
  • Sharp pain while swallowing may suggest more significant irritation or esophagitis, which might require medical evaluation.
  • Medications like Rabeprazole combined with Levosulpiride (found in Rabetero-L Capsule) are used to reduce stomach acid and improve esophageal motility, helping relieve symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.
  • However, such medications should only be taken under a doctor's prescription and guidance.

What you can do now:

  • Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods common in Indian cuisine that may worsen acid reflux.
  • Eat smaller, frequent meals and avoid lying down immediately after eating.
  • Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol and smoking.
  • If pain worsens, swallowing becomes very difficult, or you develop other symptoms like vomiting blood or weight loss, seek immediate medical attention.

Recommendation: Please consult a gastroenterologist promptly to evaluate your symptoms and determine if medication like Rabetero-L Capsule or other treatments are appropriate for you. Early professional assessment can prevent complications and provide relief.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Can you share your age and gender?
