What is esophageal corrosion?

Esophageal corrosive burn is also known as esophageal corrosive burn. Esophageal corrosive burn generally refers to a disease in which chemical burns occur in the esophagus after patients mistakenly take corrosive chemicals.

Esophageal corrosive burn occurs in children or people who are thirsty and do not check the liquid in the bottle. Esophageal corrosive burn is mostly due to accidental ingestion of strong acid or strong alkali. When esophageal corrosive burn occurs, severe pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing and other discomfort symptoms may occur. If not treated in time, esophageal perforation, septic shock, esophageal scar stenosis and other complications may occur.
