DOES EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS NEED TREATMENT?
In adults, the condition lasts for many years if not indefinitely. Treatment is recommended to reduce the risk of permanent scarring that may results from untreated inflammation and uncontrolled acid reflux. So far, there is no evidence that this condition increases the risk of cancer. Babies with severe reflux often outgrow the problem, but whether older children do so is currently unclear.
