Generally speaking, esophagitis is not self-healing. Esophagitis generally refers to the inflammatory reaction caused by irritation or injury to the superficial or deep tissues of the esophageal mucosa, resulting in mucosal congestion and edema. The main symptoms include heartburn, dysphagia, and retrosternal pain. Its symptoms such as heartburn and dysphagia may affect patients’ normal eating, which in the long run will lead to malnutrition, secondary or concurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal stenosis, Barrett’s esophagus and other diseases. Therefore, esophagitis cannot be cured by itself. In addition, patients with esophagitis are advised to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for active treatment so as not to delay the condition. Patients should keep a good mindset in daily life, actively cooperate with the treatment, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and try to correct bad habits.
