What is the most suitable treatment for acid reflux?
Asked by Male, 29 · 2 months ago
A mix of lifestyle changes and the right medicines can help treat acid reflux. Eating small, light meals, avoiding spicy or oily foods, reducing tea and coffee, and not lying down soon after eating can make a big difference. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, late-night meals, and carbonated drinks also helps a lot. If symptoms continue for weeks, it is best to consult a doctor.
