Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult a question. A few days ago, when I swallowed dryly while eating, I felt uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have esophagitis. I don't know what to do. I heard that traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat it. I don't know if this is true. Hello, what traditional Chinese medicine should be eaten for esophagitis?Doctor's answer:
Esophagitis is often caused by many factors such as gastroesophageal reflux disease. In daily life, symptomatic treatment includes taking antacid medications, gastrointestinal motility enhancers, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. It is recommended to visit a hospital for further examination, such as endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori tests, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, a light diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy, greasy, and extremely cold or hard foods.
