allergic (eosinophilic) esophagitis

What treatment would you recommend for a 16 year old girl who has allergic esophagitis? The dx was made on endoscopy by a local pediatric gastroenterologist.
I'm a retired pathologist and the girl is a granddaughter.
Thanks,

Bill

I just got ahold of my records from my last GI and every blood test (about 6 of them in the last 8 months) have low eosinophil levels.  This is only of the many things my Dr never bothered to mention.  I've tried to do research online but have only found info on elevated levels.  Could this esophagitis be my problem?
