Ösophagitis is an inflammation of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. This condition can be caused by various factors, including acid reflux, infections, or irritants like certain medications. Symptoms often include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and a burning sensation. Treatment for Ösophagitis typically involves addressing the underlying cause. This may include medications to reduce stomach acid, antibiotics for infections, or lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments. In severe cases, further medical intervention may be necessary to prevent complications.
