POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or reflux disease can be managed with lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medications. Here are common approaches to treat it:
1. Lifestyle Changes:
Smaller, Frequent Meals: Instead of large meals, offer smaller, more frequent meals to reduce stomach pressure.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Identify and avoid foods that worsen reflux, such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods.
Elevate the Head While Sleeping: Keeping the head of the bed raised can help prevent stomach acid from rising during sleep.
Avoid Lying Down Immediately After Eating: Wait at least 2-3 hours after meals before lying down.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can contribute to GERD, so try to maintain a healthy weight.
2. Medications:
Antacids: Over-the-counter antacids can neutralize stomach acid and provide relief.
H2 Blockers or Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): These reduce acid production and are prescribed for more severe cases.
Prokinetics: These help strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent acid reflux.
3. Medical Consultation: Consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if symptoms persist. In rare cases, surgery may be considered if lifestyle changes and medications are ineffective.
Always consult a healthcare professional to guide the treatment based on your specific condition.
