Need medication: Sounds like you have esophagitis, which is damage or inflammation to your esophagus from heartburn typically. You should be on a medication like prevacid or protonix (pantoprazole) to avoid more acid aggravating your esophagus. Avoid NSAIDS and do not eat late at night. Your doctor who did the scope should be bale to give you more information and tell you length of treatment.

REFLUX: most likely you have esophageal reflux disease. the acid in your stomach find a way to go up the esophagus. and burn the lining tissue and caused ulceration/ diet and medication will stop it and allowed the ulcer to heal
