You may take over-the-counter antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or alginates, which help relieve symptoms by neutralising stomach acid and providing a protective barrier. Along with medication, avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and do not lie down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Acidity and heartburn are commonly caused by excess stomach acid irritating the lining of the stomach and esophagus. A medication like Topcid 40 Tablet, which contains famotidine, can help reduce acid production and relieve these symptoms.

Treatment suggestions:

  • Famotidine (such as Topcid 40) is often prescribed to reduce stomach acid and improve heartburn and acidity.
  • Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy meals; eat smaller, frequent meals instead.
  • Avoid lying down immediately after eating and reduce caffeine, alcohol, and smoking.
  • Maintain a healthy weight and avoid tight clothing around the abdomen.

When to see a doctor:

  • If symptoms persist despite treatment or worsen.
  • If you experience difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting, weight loss, or black stools.
