A member asked:

What acid reflux med should i get for severe bad breath?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate): If you have bad breath and acid reflux, there could be underlying problems related to your gastrointestinal system. I would strongly recommend you visit your dentist/doctor for a detailed workup.

Does anyone have any over the counter acid reflux suppression medication that they can recommend? I struggle with bad breath and I think the acid reflux is the core issue. Or do you guys think I'd have to go to my regular physician?
