Esophagitis
Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It can be due to various factors and can affect comfort when eating and swallowing.
Common causes: reflux of the stomach contents, certain infections, allergic reactions, or irritation from some substances.
Common symptoms:
- burning in the chest or behind the breastbone
- pain or difficulty swallowing
- a feeling that food gets stuck
The gastroenterologist is the professional who studies and follows up on this condition, and the general practitioner can offer initial guidance. If you have discomfort when swallowing repeatedly, it is worth scheduling an appointment so that an expert can review your case.
