Brief Answer:
Esomeprazole with antacids (sucralfate) should suffice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query
I think I will be able to help you

The best option for your problem is a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. This includes medicines like Esomeprazole. This medicine is usually acts best when taken on empty stomach.

This may be taken with another medicine called Sucralfate. This is usually presented in solutions as syrups.

I therefore suggest a combination of these two medicines.

Also, I would suggest following DASH diet, and avoiding alcohol, smoking, tea and alcohol. Plenty of fluids have been found to be useful as well.

I hope that the information helps you
Best of luck
