What to do if your throat and esophagus feel burning

Young people nowadays all have their own cubicles and work in them every day. They wish they could have three meals a day at their workstations. Although takeout is convenient, many of the foods are unhealthy. Many people have sore throats and a burning sensation in the esophagus. Is this simply due to getting a sore throat? If you experience this kind of situation of getting up early, you should pay attention to it. It may be chronic gastritis, esophageal reflux, esophagitis, etc. The following will explain in detail.

Esophagitis is one of the precursors of esophageal cancer. If the patient does not pay attention, esophagitis will turn into a serious stomach disease. What are the early symptoms of esophagitis? 1. What are the early symptoms of esophagitis?

1. The main symptoms of esophagitis are pain and difficulty in swallowing, burning sensation in the heart and pain behind the sternum. When esophagitis is severe, it can cause esophageal spasm and esophageal stenosis. When inflammation at the lower end of the esophagus causes mucosal degeneration and gastric columnar epithelial cells to grow, it is called Barot's esophagus. This is the precursor of esophageal cancer and its changes must be tracked over a long period of time. Generally, bleeding from esophagitis is mild, but it may also cause vomiting blood or asphalt stools.

2. Under normal circumstances, gastric acid will not reflux into the esophagus. There is a high-pressure area in the lower half of the esophagus that prevents gastric acid from refluxing into the esophagus. If the cardia becomes loose for some reason, the pressure in the high-pressure area will decrease or even disappear, and gastric acid and bile will reflux into the esophagus, causing severe irritation to the esophageal mucosa and causing esophagitis. Lying down after a meal, overeating, or eating too much sweets or greasy food can cause stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus.

3. When you feel "heartburn" or "heart pain", or have obvious pain behind the sternum when drinking hot water or eating spicy food, these are symptoms of esophagitis. There is also a feeling of choking when swallowing food, which is caused by esophageal edema, narrowing of the esophagus, or spasmodic contraction of the esophageal wall due to inflammatory stimulation. Esophagitis should be diagnosed and treated promptly, otherwise it will worsen and lead to esophageal mucosal ulcers, vomiting blood or bloody stools.

2. What are the main symptoms of esophagitis?

The main clinical symptoms of esophagitis are loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, food reflux, drooling, and vomiting.

1. Depression, decreased appetite or even loss of appetite. There is mucus around the mouth and nose. When chronic esophagitis occurs, weight loss gradually occurs.

2. Difficulty in swallowing, painful swallowing, and excessive salivation; or vomiting, sometimes with blood in the vomitus. Often refuses to eat after swallowing several times.

3. The esophagus is sensitive to palpation and painful in the front of the neck; pressure on the anterior abdomen may cause food reflux.
