Doctor how can I cure acid reflux
Acid reflux is caused when the acid of the stomach moves into the oesophagus. Normally, there is a valve at the junction of the oesophagus and the stomach which prevents this reverse flow of stomach contents. When this valve becomes weak, stomach contents can move “backwards”. Almost all individuals would have suffered from occasional episodes of acid reflux. These invariably occur when they eat a big meal and lie down. Acid reflux cannot be cured. However, if you suffer from this frequently, the symptoms can be reduced to a great extent. You should take smaller and more frequent meals. Do not take spicy foods. Do not lie down immediately after a meal. Try to remain sitting or walk around for about 2 hours after a meal. In addition you may take antacids or other such drugs that your doctor may prescribe to reduce the acid secretion in your stomach.
