 For infectious esophagitis, medications will be prescribed according to the organism causing the infection.If it is yeast Candida, the treatment is fluconazole or an echinocandin. The chosen medication depends on the strain of Candida and on the individual patient, including how ill he or she is, whether other illnesses are also present, allergies, and other factors.
If the patient has a viral esophagitis, acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir will be prescribed. Again, the particular choice depends on the patient and on the virus.
If it is caused by a bacteria, antibiotics will be prescribed.
