Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a patient ingests a corrosive product and then vomits, the corrosive substance can burn the esophagus on the way back up, leading to esophageal burns. This can cause severe pain, difficulty swallowing, and potentially even bleeding or perforation of the esophagus. Chemical pneumonia (A) and aspiration pneumonia (B) are also potential complications of vomiting after ingesting a corrosive substance, but esophageal burns are the most specific complication in this context. Coma (D) is not directly related to vomiting after ingesting a corrosive substance.
