Ask
Hello doctor! Yes, doctor, I am working in Taiwan. I went for a gastroscopy and the doctor concluded that I had gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophagitis and was given oral medication. I have been taking it for a long time, but I don't see any effect and the disease is still getting worse. I still have symptoms of pain under the breastbone and often choke in the throat, heartburn after eating. Doctor advises children with gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis should use drugs in Vietnam? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
Your medical problem, the doctor needs to do more examinations, review the test results and prescribe medicine for gastroesophageal reflux. It is possible to perform some more tests, then there will be a direction to advise on which medication should be used for gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophagitis.
If possible, you should register for an examination at the Gastroenterology Clinic, of one of the hospitals of Vinmec Health System in Vietnam for a better consultation!
