Stomach pain and acidity often result from excess stomach acid or irritation of the stomach lining. For relief, medicines like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antacids are commonly used.

1. Understanding Stomach Pain and Acidity

   • Common causes include acid reflux, gastritis, or indigestion, which lead to discomfort or burning sensations.

2. Over-the-Counter Medications

   • Antacids (e.g., calcium carbonate) provide quick relief by neutralizing stomach acid.
   • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) like the Rzole DSR Capsule (containing Rabeprazole and Domperidone) reduce acid production and improve digestion. This capsule is used for acid reflux and related symptoms but requires a doctor’s prescription.
   • Supplements such as probiotics, peppermint oil, digestive enzymes, and chamomile tea may also help soothe stomach discomfort naturally.

3. When to See a Doctor

   • Seek medical advice if you experience severe or persistent pain, vomiting blood, black stools, or difficulty swallowing.

4. Lifestyle and Dietary Tips

   • Avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods; eat smaller, frequent meals; and avoid lying down immediately after eating to reduce acidity.

5. Relevant Medical Specialties

   • A gastroenterologist is the specialist to consult for ongoing or severe stomach pain and acidity.

It’s important not to self-medicate for prolonged periods. Please consult a gastroenterologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your condition.
