Esophagitis treatment varies depending on the underlying cause and severity. When medical treatment is required, a doctor may prescribe medications such as acid suppressants, anti-inflammatories, antivirals, or antibiotics. In some cases, especially in severe esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux, surgical intervention may be necessary to strengthen the valve separating the stomach and esophagus.

In addition to medical treatment or in mild cases, lifestyle changes play an important role in managing esophagitis symptoms. Healthy eating is one of the cornerstones. It is recommended to avoid foods and beverages that can trigger acid reflux, indigestion, or allergic reactions. Furthermore, stopping eating at least 3-4 hours before bedtime, and quitting smoking and alcohol consumption are effective steps that help alleviate symptoms.
