Let me help you: Treatment for heartburn and other sign and symptoms of reflex usually begins with over-the-counter medications that control acid. If you don't experience relief within a few weeks, your doctor may recommend other treatments, including medications and surgery. Mylanta, pepcid), Prevacid (lansoprazole) 24hours, .( (tagamet)(nexium).
