How is esophagitis treated?
The treatment of esophagitis primarily consists of dietary adjustments and the selection of medications. Dietary recommendations suggest that patients consume clean, easily digestible foods, avoid binge eating, and refrain from the intake of pickled foods, cultivating good lifestyle and eating habits. Medication options include acid-suppressing, mucosal-protecting, and gastrointestinal motility-improving drugs, with an initial treatment duration of two to four weeks. Esophagitis is relatively common in clinical settings, typically seen in gastroenterology outpatient clinics, with symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, nausea, and belching being more common. Among these, heartburn is a typical symptom, characterized by a burning pain in the esophageal or pre-chest area, usually episodic and related to diet, with symptoms often occurring after meals. Diagnosis relies primarily on gastroscopy, thus it is recommended that patients considered to have esophagitis undergo timely gastroscopic examination to further clarify the condition. (The use of medications should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.)
