Could barium swallow test show esophageal erosions?

Possibly: Yes please see your doctor for more information. They can also perform a scope/endoscope to actually visualize your esophagus. Good luck

Possibly: A well performed barium swallow can show esophageal erosions. An endoscopy might be better, though, as they can take a biopsy of abnormal looking tissue.
