Esophagitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The gastroenterologist is the specialist who studies inflammation of the esophagus, also called esophagitis, an irritation of the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It can affect both adults and children.
How it presents: It usually causes burning in the chest, pain or discomfort when swallowing, a sensation of food stuck, or regurgitation.
Common causes: Reflux of stomach contents, certain infections, irritants, or allergic reactions are among the usual origins.
When is it worth reviewing?: When the symptoms are frequent, make eating difficult, or do not subside over time. The gastroenterologist, the pediatric gastroenterologist in the case of children, or the general practitioner can evaluate the condition and determine the necessary tests to clarify its cause.
