What to do if i hurt after esophagus dilation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patience : Make sure your doctor is aware of this problem. You may have some vague discomfort after this procedure. Need to see if it persists.. Usually these pts are taking something to block acid from irritating the esophagus. Pain should not last long.
