Serious complications are feared such as esophagitis, endobrachyesophagus (narrowing of the esophageal diameter), digestive bleeding and esophageal cancer. Homeopathy helps relieve symptoms but also protects the esophagus from complications. Medical consultation is recommended in the event of aggravation or the appearance of general signs (weakness, weight loss, etc.), especially in newborns when their weight curve is stagnating.
