General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Marium Arif

Wsalam its better to treat the cause. Long term use is associated with complications. U need to change ur lifestyle dnt ly down after meal. Avoid very hot liquids. Avoid carbonated drinks. Avoid spicy food use mild spices. Take syp mucaine 30 mins before meal. And tab nexum 20 mg BD. If problem doesn't resolve then follow up in opd after 1 week

U can take nexum but if it is not solving your issue then must find out the reason. Acidity has many reasons, may be u have problem in stomach, or liver or gall bladder. Change your diet pattern from soicy or oiky foods to non spicy less oil foods. Take dinner 3 hours before sleeoing. If you are over weight then reduce your weight. Consume more water. If yiu are over stressed then find out and relieve. Proper sleep of 6 to 7 hours. Follow all this u will not need any medicine. INSHAALLAH
