A member asked:

Heyy i just drunk apple cider vinegar straight because i watched a youtube video saying itll help with my constipation now my throat hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Throat hurts: Vinegar is a mild acid, so throat irritation can occur after drinking it. If it does not get better in 2 days see a doctor. It is unlikely to cause much damage
