Esophagitis Treatment in Indore

Esophagitis – Description

Esophagitis is a disease where the linings of the oesophagus (the hollow that transfers food from the mouth up to the stomach) are inflamed, swollen or irritated. This irritation normally occurs due to the fact that the oesophagus is exposed to either acid, infections, allergies or mechanical damage. The symptoms associated with esophagitis include painful swallowing, chest pain, heartburn, sour mouth, difficulty swallowing or the sensation that there is food lodged in the chest. Unattended esophagitis may result in such complications as esophagus ulcers, bleeding, scarring, and esophagus constriction. When the cause is found, the right type of treatment will be administered.
