Oesophagitis is inflammation of the oesophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. It may cause symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty or pain while swallowing, chest discomfort, or the feeling that food is stuck. Acid reflux is a common cause, but oesophagitis can also be associated with certain medicines, infections, allergies, or other health conditions. Identifying the underlying cause is important because treatment depends on the reason for the inflammation. Lifestyle measures such as eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down soon after eating, limiting foods that trigger symptoms, and maintaining a healthy weight may help some people with reflux-related symptoms. Medicines should be taken only as advised by a healthcare professional. Persistent swallowing difficulty, recurrent heartburn, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, or bleeding requires prompt medical evaluation. Severe chest pain should receive urgent medical attention. A General Physician or Internal Medicine specialist can assess symptoms, review medical history and medicines, and recommend appropriate tests or treatment when needed.
