Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. How much does it cost to treat esophagitis?Doctor's answer:
The goal of medical treatment for esophagitis is to reduce reflux and minimize the irritation and corrosion caused by gastric secretions. Sliding hiatal hernias without primary symptoms generally do not require treatment. If there are mild reflux esophagitis symptoms or the patient is elderly or obese, weight loss can reduce intra-abdominal pressure and reflux. Avoid heavy lifting, bending, and wearing tight clothing. Elevate the head of the bed by 15 cm while sleeping, and do not eat anything 6 hours before bedtime. The cost varies depending on the individual, the condition, the region, and the hospital.
