A member asked:
What can we do? my girlfriend has acid reflex badly, is there any medicine that she can take (over the counter)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid reflux: Acid reflex can be very treatable. It starts with anti-reflux measures, such as avoiding certain foods, avoiding caffeine/alcohol, and perhaps tilting the bed up on blocks. Details can be found under "tips and checklists" for avoiding heartburn under my name on this site. She could potentially try using over-the-counter Zantac, but she should see her doctor if she's not better after two weeks.
