Book Appointment

In simple terms, esophagitis is the inflammation of the oesophagus. Oesophagus is the tube which carries food from your throat to the stomach, and swallowing becomes very difficult if this gets inflamed. Usually the walls of the oesophagus become large due to a large number of white blood cells that accumulate there.
