Patient's question:
I recently developed gastroesophageal reflux disease, and I experienced pain in my esophagus while eating dinner. This month, it has improved, and I no longer feel pain in my esophagus when eating dinner. However, sometimes I get choked while eating dinner, not every time, but about two or three times a week. What could be the reason, and how can I treat esophagitis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is that you experience sobbing while having dinner. It could be due to incomplete healing of esophagitis, and the possibility of esophageal cancer cannot be ruled out. You can take oral proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, and prokinetic drugs, such as metoclopramide, which may alleviate the symptoms. It is recommended to consult a gastroenterology department for a thorough examination, including an endoscopy, to further determine the nature of the inflammation.In daily life, pay attention to a warm, soft, and easily digestible diet, eat small meals frequently, chew food thoroughly, and avoid overeating, spicy foods, and extremely cold or hard foods. Also, take care to prevent colds in the abdomen and soles of your feet. Base your diet on millet porridge and engage in light exercise after meals to ensure proper digestion and absorption of food.
