A member asked:
I swallowed an advil 2 years ago without water and it got stuck in my throat and burned bad for at least a day. will this have resulted in a stricture of my esophagus? or would it have just healed? does it only take one burn to cause a stricture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Usually esophageal strictures result from severe trauma or alkali burns(e.g. Draino) of the esophagus or repetitive injury of the esophagus.
