Niedzielski A, et al. - Between 1967 and 2018, in the one-center population-based retrospective cohort study, 150 kids were examined to study the diagnostic methods and regimen for children with esophageal burns as per the degree of the injury. The frequently observed clinical symptoms were as follows: salivation, dysphagia, burning sensation, edema, and whitish coating on the oral mucosa, palate, and throat. They also recorded dyspnea and chest pain in 30% of patients. Results for the esophagus endoscopy were: Zargar grade I burn (84.7%), grade IIA (8%), grade IIB (2.6%), grade III (0%), and grade 0 (4.7%). Antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, analgesics, and intravenous fluid therapy were the treatment methods include.
