Husband swolled a big pice of watermelon accidently he felt a lot of pain as it went down everytime he eats something it hurts could he have damaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: He may even still have this fruit lodged in his distal esophagus, or he may have torn the mucosa (inner lining) of the distal esophagus.He should at least touch base with his doctor, and, if appropriate, he may need a GI evaluation. Good luck.
