Prevention- avoid alcohol and spicy foods , do abdominal breathing exercise - this may tone your diaphragm and LES

This esophagitis is due to gastro esophageal reflux disease. You need to take acid suppression medication with prokinetics(which increases the motility of stomach). Follow up endoscopy is also required to check is there any improvement in esophagitis.
