Super paranoid I cut my esophagus.

So I was eating this salad and it has chips in it, and I guess I ate too fast and I felt a very painful sensation while it made my way down. I don't have swallowing problems, but it does hurt when I swallow, no other pain besides when I swallow. So do you think I cut it? Cause I am a bit scared cause of it.

No. It's probably just a graze at worse, nothing more. It would be virtually impossible to swallow anything that has the strength to perforate the esophagus.

You would definitely know if it were perforated in any way that needs worrying about.

Your oesophagus is probably inflamed now as I believe you bruised it. I think you should see your GP if the pain/discomfort does not go away, as if this persists you may have some underlying conditions such as acid reflux or (like me - an oesophageal ulcer!!!). In the meantime, do take honey which is good to heal bruises in the throat and gullet area - as well as soft foods-stuffs such as jelly, bananas, mashed potatoes, porridge etc. Good luck and and hope it's nothing to worry about. Do let me know what the outcome is?

When you are about to swallow do so with a drink of water. That will remove all sensation.

Na bruh, you'd definitely know if it was a cut..... trust me. Chill
