Suggest Treatment For Eosinpohillic Esophagits
I have been diagnosed with Eosinpohillic Esophagits within the last 2 weeks, I started on flovent and I was told to swallow it. I am now having left side pain. I have only been on the medication less than a week. Could this be related to the medication, since I know it can cause Candidia?
