Esophagitis is the inflammation of the esophageal lining, often caused by acid reflux, infections, medications, or allergies. It may be acute or chronic and can lead to painful swallowing, heartburn, and potential complications if untreated.

Causes:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Most common cause due to acid reflux
• Infectious: Candida, herpes simplex virus, or bacterial infections
• Medication-induced: NSAIDs, bisphosphonates, or antibiotics causing irritation
• Eosinophilic esophagitis: Allergic inflammation due to food or environmental allergens
• Radiation or chemical injury: Post-radiotherapy or ingestion of corrosive substances

Symptoms:

• Heartburn or retrosternal burning
• Painful swallowing (odynophagia) or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
• Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
• Nausea, bloating, or mild chest discomfort
• Cough, hoarseness, or sore throat in some cases

Complications:

• Esophageal ulceration or strictures
• Barrett’s esophagus (precancerous changes)
• Chronic pain and feeding difficulties
• Increased risk of secondary infections

Conventional treatment includes acid suppression therapy (PPIs, H2 blockers), lifestyle modification, diet management, and treatment of underlying cause, while homoeopathy provides symptom relief, mucosal healing, and digestive support.

Homoeopathy treats esophagitis by reducing inflammation, relieving burning pain, improving swallowing, and supporting digestive function. Remedies are selected based on pain type, aggravating factors, regurgitation, nausea, and overall constitution.

The approach aims to:

• Relieve heartburn, retrosternal pain, and regurgitation
• Improve swallowing and esophageal comfort
• Correct digestive imbalances
• Address constitutional susceptibility and chronic irritation
