Brief Answer:
Yes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
Have seen your details,
Yes reflux of acid back into esophagus burns the soft mucosal layer of esophagus causing inflammation.
Inflammation along the length of mucosa is the cause of your problem.
If possible add Domstal 30 mg(Domperidone) to the medicine you are having for a fast relief.
Thank you!
