Lifestyle changes Losing weight, stop smoking and alcohol, lowering stress, avoid sleeping/lying down after eating, raising the head of the bed, taking medicines correctly, avoiding certain<unk> ions, and avoiding foods that<unk>  the reflux that might be<unk> ng the esophagitis.<unk> ions Antacids To treat reflux esophagitis, over the counter antacids,<unk> ions that reduce acid production (H-2 receptor blockers), and proton pump inhibitors are recommended to help block acid production and to let the esophagus heal. Some prescription<unk> ions to treat reflux esophagitis include higher dose H-2 receptor blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and prokinetics, which help with the emptying of the stomach. However prokinetics are no longer licensed for GERD because their evidence of efficacy is poor, and following a safety review, licensed use of domperidone and metoclopramide is now restricted to short-term use in<unk> a and vomiting only. For subtypes To treat eosinophilic esophagitis, avoiding any allergens that may be stimulating the eosinophils is recommended. As for<unk> ions, proton pump inhibitors and steroids can be prescribed. Steroids that are used to treat asthma can be swallowed to treat eosinophil esophagitis due to nonfood allergens. The removal of food allergens from the diet is included to help treat eosinophilic esophagitis. For infectious esophagitis, medicine is prescribed based on what type of infection is<unk> ng the esophagitis. These medicines are prescribed to treat bacterial, fungal, viral, and/or parasitic infections. Procedures *An endoscopy can be used to remove ill fragments. *Surgery can be done to remove the damaged part of the esophagus. *For reflux esophagitis, a fundooplication can be done to help strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter from allowing backflow of the stomach into the esophagus. *For esophageal stricture, a gastroenterologist can perform a dilation of the esophagus. As of 2020 evidence for magnetic sphincter augmentation is poor.
