I'm having this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I swallow, even when I just drink water. It gets worse when I burp too. This all began about three weeks ago after a pill my ENT doctor recommended got stuck in my throat, and it almost made me vomit. Since then, the pain just hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing esophageal irritation or inflammation due to the pill getting stuck in your throat. This can lead to chest pain, especially when swallowing. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce stomach acid and relieve the pain. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (Prilosec) to further reduce acid production in your stomach. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
