A member asked:
Can flucloxacillin antibiotics cause your esophagus to rupture or anything? my throat feels raw and lots of heartburn and feeling like something stuck in throat since starting these 2 days ago. scared its burning away my oesophagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's an exceedingly unlikely outcome, even if your esophagus has been injured or irritated by the antibiotic. Flucloxacillin and related antibiotics usually are not very irritating to the esophagus, although you could experience such symptoms for a few days if a pill was temporarily stuck there. Discuss with the doctor who prescribed it, but don't be seriously worried in the meantime.
