"I recently went to the hospital because I had a bad case of tonsillitis and was severely dehydrated. Now, just drinking water burns inside. What should I do?"

If drinking water is causing a burning sensation inside you, it may be due to irritation of the esophagus caused by recent vomiting. It's best to take your antibiotics with food to aid digestion and reduce nausea. You can also try using over-the-counter products like Zantac™ or Olex™ to help soothe your esophagus while it heals.
