How Can Acid Reflux And Sour Burning Sensation In The Throat Be Treated?
Question: Hi Doctor I think I have acid reflux. During the day sometimes I feel sour/burning sensation in my throat. This has been there for quite some time now but I have not taken any medication. Can you please suggest how this can be treated?
Brief Answer:
GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and from the symptoms that you have explained you seem to have GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).
For this I would suggest you to do the following:
- You need to make necessary lifestyle modifications. Consume foods that are less oily and spicy.
- Avoid beverages like tea or coffee, and say a complete NO to carbonated drinks and alcohol.
- Avoid smoking
- Avoid large meals, thereby saying, try having 5 small meals a day rather than 3 large meals.
- Always wait atleast 2 hours before going to bed after having dinner.
- Avoid stress and tensions to the maximum.
- You may chose to take T. Rabeprazole 20mg once daily half an hour before having breakfast for 3-4 weeks.
- Reduce weight if your are overweight.
I hope this helps,
Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close the query and share your positive feedback,
Regards
