General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux. If you were my patient i would treat with proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole and motility agents like domperidone for 2 weeks and vitamin C chewable tablets. Eat small meals at short intervals. Avoid spicy,greasy,fried and fatty foods. Don't lie down just after meals. Give at least 1 to 2 hours before sleeping.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
