A 31-year-old female 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?

Usually not: Usually esophageal strictures result from severe trauma or alkali burns(e.g. Draino) of the esophagus or repetitive injury of the esophagus.

A few years ago I swallowed two Advil in the car without water and got stuck in traffic- the Advil got stuck in my throat and began to burn. Burning/pain/discomfort lasted for a week or so. Is it likely it burned a hole in my esophagus? Will it heal?
