Patient's question:
This year, in February, I had an endoscopy which showed candidal esophagitis. I took both Western and Chinese medicine, but there was no improvement. Recently, it has reappeared with symptoms like belching, a feeling of something blocking the throat, and also some chest tightness, as well as slightly difficulty breathing. What symptoms can candidal esophagitis cause?Doctor's answer:
Your condition falls under the category of chronic stomach disease, primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. Generally, conventional medications struggle to provide a complete cure, and standard treatments can only alleviate symptoms. However, the stomach lining continues to be constantly damaged, and some stomach medications may even exacerbate the harm to the stomach lining, leading to persistent and worsening stomach issues.It is recommended to use a combination of ingredients such as bituminous sulfur, black jujubes, walnut kernels, gardeniae, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, malt, safflower, agallochum, iron gall powder, propolis, honey, and beeswax for synergistic treatment. This approach is fast-acting and highly effective.
