Symptoms and Treatment of Reflux Esophagitis

Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include acid regurgitation, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, belching, and dysphagia. A diagnosis is confirmed via upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed at a hospital. Based on the endoscopic findings, the severity of the condition is assessed, and treatment is initiated per physician’s instructions—typically involving oral medications such as omeprazole. During treatment, patients must avoid spicy and irritating foods.
