What Causes Inflammation And Swelling In The Esophagus?

I have problems with my esophagus and have for several years.mit gets inflamed and swollen. For the last couple of months it is sore, swollen, and feels like it is filled with cotton and I am having problems swallowing and eating. I have been taking Omeprazole for quite a few years and it was increased about a month ago. I am having to take antacid tablets and throat lozenges as well.

Hello,

Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.

We have to rule out possibilities like esophagitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
