A member asked:

I have a very sensitive stomach. yesterday took 2 alleve (with food) and now feels like my upper stomach is on fire! what will help the soreness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: The first thing is to never take Aleve (naproxen) again. Try antacids over the short term (Maalox, Mylanta, not TUMs). For long term issues try Prilosec OTC, 1 tablet daily on a regular basis.
