Help for Oesophageal burns
just looking for suggestions
i have just completed 10 radiation sessions to thoracic spine and am suffering big time from oesophageal burns
I’m on a liquid diet and using mylanta with xylocaine gel 4 Hourly but it’s waking me at night and lack of sleep is hard too
soluable panadol is ok but is there any other tricks to settle the reflux like symptoms?

- Will look into that thanks !!!
- Ranitadine comes in a drinkable form so works quickly. You will need a script.
- Thankyou all for the suggestions and support
I am on pantoprozole and the doctor even suggested ranatidine as well
I tried the Manuka honey today and it did help a little after one use so I will keep that up regularly
will try and get some peppermint oil drops
I hadn’t thought of probiotics ...
again all this supportive info is great I really appreciate it thankyou - I am on nexium. Also find peppermint oil (couple of drops) helps to settle tummy if that area is playing up. Good luck.
- Pantoprozole works well for the reflux. Will need a script for it though. Also try taking a probiotic. Inner Health Plus Candex is a good one.
- Yep honey and ginger capsules too.
- We recommend Manuka honey to our patients:)
