Need help docs! my acid reflux is acting up, what do i do about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antacid: A quick fix would be OTC Pepcid (famotidine) AC. If you need more constant relief, you will also need to take something in the class of proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec. Ultimately if all of this fails, please see your doctor to make sure you don't have something more serious. Hope you feel better.
