Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
The first line of treatment for esophageal pain is often the same medications used to treat angina of cardiac origin and would include vasodilators, calcium channel blockers, and isosorbide dinitrate. Antibiotics, antipyretics, and antihistamines are not medications used to treat esophageal pain.

Answer to Question 2

1
In the preicteric phase of hepatitis, some smokers will have an aversion to smoking as a first sign of the disease. Smoking is not affected with the icteric or posticteric phases of the disease. Recovery is not a phase of hepatitis.
