Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have esophagitis. How should I treat it? It started about half a year ago. I always feel a stuffy, hot sensation in my chest, and the bone part of my chest often hurts. When he eats dry food, he feels very dry and as if something is stuck in his throat. The hospital prescribed throat inflammation medication, but it didn't work. He then went to a general hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with esophagitis. I hope to receive your advice!Doctor's answer:
If after careful examination it is considered to be esophagitis, this condition is mostly likely due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, caused by bile and gastric juice reflux leading to this inflammation. Therefore, it is important to maintain a regular diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible. At the same time, medication should be used to re-regulate the condition. Oral medications such as omeprazole and aluminum hydroxide magnesium can be considered, and active adjustment should be beneficial in stabilizing the symptoms.
