May Try OTC antacids: Pill esophagitis is localized inflammation or even erosion and ulceration of the lining of the esophagus by pills that get lodged and dissolve there. Bisphosphonates such as fosamax, (alendronate) antibiotics such as doxycycline, nsaids and many other pills can do this. If the symptoms persist seek medical attention. Prescription strength GI cocktail containing viscous Lidocaine is frequently effective in rx.
