What’s wrong with the pain in the esophagus from eating?

Eating esophagus pain should consider whether there is an esophageal injury or esophageal tumor caused. 1. Esophageal injury: (1) Food causes damage to the esophageal mucosa: if it is caused by fish splinter or hot dietary scald, when eating, the food passing through the damaged area will cause pain. If there is a fish splinter should be taken out to the hospital in time, and the scalded patient should pay attention to a light diet and wait for the esophageal mucosa to recover by itself. (2) Gastric acid reflux damages the esophageal mucosa: Commonly found in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach contents or gastric juice refluxes into the esophagus, and gastric juice is acidic, which will gradually damage the mucosa. The treatment should be acid-suppressing agents such as omeprazole and gastrointestinal stimulants such as domperidone. 2. Esophageal tumor: For example, in patients with esophageal cancer, the esophagus will be narrowed gradually, and there will be progressive dysphagia, resistance when swallowing, and pain. Treatment can be esophageal tumor resection and combined with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If the above symptoms occur, consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
