Can I use my 61W MacBook charger to charge my iPhone 17? Since my mobile is heating up during charging and there's a burnt odor at the back, I'm concerned about safety

The charging combination is safe, and heat is produced while charging, though why there is a burning odor here is a different and more troubling matter, and I’d discontinue use, make an appointment, and bring it into Apple.
