3. Irritation from food or drinks
4. Allergic reactions
5. Medications (such as antibiotics or NSAIDs)
6. Radiation therapy
Symptoms include:

- Difficulty swallowing
- Heartburn
- Regurgitation of food
- Coughing or wheezing
- Hoarseness
If you suspect you have esophagitis, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
