T28.0: Burn of mouth and pharynx
You have burned your mouth and throat.
The throat begins behind the mouth and nose. The throat connects the mouth and nose with the windpipe (trachea) and gullet (oesophagus).
In your case, tissue was damaged by high temperatures. For example, you can get burned by fire, electricity or certain rays.
The symptoms from a burn depend on how badly the tissue was damaged. The affected tissue may be red and swollen. Sometimes blisters or open wounds form. The tissue may die off, as well. Severe illness is possible. If the damaged tissue scars, there may be permanent problems.
You have burned your mouth and throat. Sometimes it is no longer possible to eat or swallow properly.
