Dr. David Martin answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Throat burn: As long as you can swallow without too much discomfort, i wouldn't be too worried. It may take a few days, but it should go back to normal, quickly. If you have any trouble getting food/liquids down or if you have trouble breathing, go to the emergency room immediately.
