How long it takes for the treatment of esophageal roughness to get better should be decided according to the specific cause of the disease. If it is caused by improper diet, it will usually recover in about 1 week; if it is caused by reflux esophagitis, it may take 1~2 weeks; if it is caused by malignant diseases such as esophageal cancer, the course of treatment will be longer. 1. Improper diet: overeating or eating cold, spicy and greasy ingredients frequently will cause direct stimulation to the esophageal mucosa and cause roughness of the esophageal mucosa. Generally, it will gradually recover in about 1 week through the adjustment of life and diet. 2. Reflux esophagitis: the reflux of gastric contents will stimulate the esophageal mucosa, which may also cause roughness of the esophageal mucosa, and it will be gradually recovered in 1~2 weeks through active treatment. 3. Esophageal cancer: It is mainly due to the destruction and shedding of normal mucosa caused by the stimulation of cancer cells, which leads to the uneven surface of the esophagus and causes the roughness of the esophagus. Surgery is needed as early as possible, combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other measures after surgery, and the duration of treatment should be determined by specialized physicians. Roughness of esophagus should go to gastroenterology department of regular hospitals in time and follow the doctor’s instruction for treatment, and the specific recovery time can also be consulted with professional doctors.
