Hi,
As Nexium is antacids. Instead of that you can take other antacids like tablet Pantoprazole or tablet Omeprazole or tablet Ranitidine. Along with the that avoid hot and spicy foods. Drink lot of water or fluids. Avoid heavy meal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
