General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The acid reflux is caused due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.

Medical management consists of intake of Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)+ Domperidone preparations (strengthens the sphincter & prevents reflux)

In addition you need to follow certain diet & lifestyle measures, such as:
1. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
2. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction (if overweight), sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult your treating Doctor/ Gastroenterologist.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
