Many things: There are several ways to treat reflux: 1. Medicines - see your doctor about this 2. Small frequent meals instead of large infrequent meals 3. Do not eat for several hours before lying down 4. Do not eat before exercise 5. Elevate the head of the bed keep in mind that reflux and aspiration make asthma worse.
