    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Gastrointestinal Pathology

    Background:

    • Medication-induced esophageal lesions are a recognized clinical issue.
    • Tablets, particularly when taken without adequate water, pose a risk for esophageal injury.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old child developed extensive esophageal mucosal necrosis.
    • The injury occurred after ingesting a Rhinasal tablet at bedtime without water.

    Findings:

    • Fiberoptic endoscopy revealed inflammatory mucosal lesions.
    • Lesions showed significant recovery within 3 days.
    • No specific local or systemic treatment was required.

    Implications:

    • Esophageal injury from oral medications can be severe but may resolve spontaneously.
  • Prompt diagnosis via endoscopy is crucial for management.
  • This case highlights the importance of adequate water intake with oral medications in children.
