A member asked:
Is it normal for heartburn to last longer then a day??and whats the quickest way to treat it??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heartburn: Heartburn should be quickly relieved by taking antacids like Tums and avoiding spicy foods,greasy foods, alcohol,caffeine and nicotine. Zantac acts quicker than prilosec or nexium. Prolonged persistent heartburn should be investigated by your physician or a gastroenterologist.
