Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing throat pain and a slightly inflamed sensation in my throat. I thought it might be a cold with tonsillitis, but after taking medicine for over a week, there hasn't been any improvement. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said it was esophageal ulcers. What are the treatment methods for esophageal ulcers?Doctor's answer:
Young woman, experiencing sore throat again, goes to the hospital for a thorough examination and is diagnosed with esophageal ulcers. This condition is generally associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease. The primary cause is long-term acid reflux irritation. Treatment requires taking acid-reducing medications such as esomeprazole enteric-coated tablets and drugs that promote esophageal motility, such as mosapride tablets. Generally, at least 8-12 weeks of medication is needed. Pay attention to diet and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
