Reflux esophagitis is prone to recurrence and requires not only general treatment and medication, but also the avoidance of risk factors for the development of reflux esophagitis on the basis of that treatment, which can help to eradicate the cure.
Patients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis should pay attention to avoiding eating before bedtime, elevating the head of the bed when sleeping, and avoiding foods that relax the lower esophageal sphincter such as chocolate, coffee, and strong tea. It is also necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to use acid-suppressing drugs, such as omeprazole, etc., to promote gastric dynamics of drugs such as mosapride, etc., gastric mucosa protective agents, such as aluminum sulfate, magnesium aluminum carbonate, etc..
After standardized treatment, patients with reflux esophagitis can be cured, but it is easy to recur, so it is also important to avoid high-risk factors that cause reflux esophagitis, such as avoiding obesity, ascites and other factors that cause increased intra-abdominal pressure, and avoiding smoking, drinking and so on.
Patients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and if necessary, surgical treatment such as fundoplication is feasible.
