My doctor told me to put a cold compress on my chest for reflux burn will it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux burn: Assuming you are having gerd, a reflux illness that allows stomach contents to reflux into your esophagus, treating you with antacids, and medications to decrease stomach acid etc. Would be more effective than ice on chest. See doctor for workup and treatment.
