She should continue with these medications since it may take up to 2 months to see results of it. Acid reflux is caused by irritation of stomach mucosa by certain food or medications, stress and smoking.

Beside medications, it should be treated by changing lifestyle habits first and in severe cases medications or surgery may be required. You need to eat smaller meals but or frequently , avoid long sitting after meal and regulate your body mass. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antiacid medications are ačways required and Rablet is good option.
