Typical clinical symptoms are reflux and heartburn, which may also be accompanied by chest pain and difficulty in swallowing. Drugs for the treatment of reflux esophagitis include acid inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole), gastrointestinal stimulants (e.g., domperidone, etc.), antacids (magnesium hydroxide, etc.), and mucosal protectors (aluminum thioglycollate, etc.). For patients with recurrent episodes accompanied by symptoms of depression or anxiety, antidepressants (fluoxetine, etc.) should also be used as appropriate, and laparoscopic fundoplication and endoscopic treatment can be performed if necessary. The cure rate of reflux esophagitis is high. Through active treatment, most patients can effectively relieve their symptoms and have a good prognosis. However, it is easy to recur and requires long-term medication. Patients should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to take the medication in full course and in full dosage, and generally can be cured. Patients with reflux esophagitis should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment and medication.
