Ranitidine provides temporary relief, but long-term management requires addressing the root cause. For lasting relief, adopt lifestyle changes: eat dinner at least three hours before sleeping, elevate the head of your bed by six inches, and avoid triggers like caffeine, alcohol, and fatty foods. Medically, a doctor may prescribe a short course of proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole) to help your esophagus heal. For a permanent solution, please consult a gastroenterologist. They can perform an endoscopy to evaluate for underlying issues like a hiatal hernia or GERD, ensuring you receive a safe, definitive treatment plan.
