default
Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2014
Question: what can I do to get rid of heartburn? I'm on clindamycin hcl 300mg, & I laid down immediatly after taking it. This is the first time that I forgot to follow warning label. Its too late to contact dr. or pharmacy. Is there anything I can eat or drink to rid myself of this heartburn so I can go back to sleep?

Brief Answer:
take PPI if you have

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

For the heartburn take Acid suppressing drugs l.e PPI like pantoprazole if you have with you.

Otherwise take curds . It will soothen the stomach and food pipe and reduce heartburn. Next option is you may take cold milk if curds not available or if available ice
cream.

Walk for 15 to 20 mins and while sleeping make a elevation of around 45 degree . Head more then then body.

These all factors help you to reduce heartburn. But if these natural methods don't work then you need to take drugs only.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
