Medication
Despite the large population of patients in the world, they can only relieve their symptoms by taking an inhibitor or the latest PC A B reverse inhibitor unless they received the surgery. However, medication should not be taken for a long time, as it may cause other health problems, such as pneumonia, inflammation, osteoporosis.
Surgery
Even taking drugs or undergoing surgery may not be able to effectively reduce the pain. Operations also have the risk of difficulty swallowing, and the patient has to return to the hospital for regular examinations. For acid reflux patients with bile duct regurgitation, surgery may not be effective. Many patients have already taken large doses of medication still suffer from the disease.
