For quick relief from mild acidity, you can take an over-the-counter antacid containing calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide. For longer-lasting relief, an H2 blocker like Famotidine (20 mg) or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Omeprazole (20 mg) taken 30 minutes before breakfast is highly effective. To help manage this naturally, avoid spicy or fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and do not lie down for at least two hours after eating. If your symptoms persist for more than two weeks or are accompanied by severe chest pain or difficulty swallowing, please consult a healthcare professional.
