A member asked:
Is there any permanent treatment for lax les, i have used antacids for sufficient time but problem goes and comes again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I WannaTakeYouHigher: Yes, there's a permanent fix for it,but before we go THAT far there's dietary changes to try,and other medications too, but if it's SO lax everything leaks back up into your throat, especially at night, that's not good. It could lead to chronic throat and lung problems. And there IS surgery for it.So read-up on it and talk to your doctor! In the meantime, elevate the head of your bed by 30 degrees
