The type of treatment depends on the severity of the disease and the severity of symptoms. It is worth discussing the procedure for dealing with a gastroenterologist. It is recommended to perform diagnostic tests such as gastroscopy, H. Pylori test. For more information:

Drugs that reduce the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach (proton pump inhibitors) are used as standard. Weaker doses and smaller packages are available for manual sale. The preparation should be taken in the morning, on an empty stomach, about an hour before breakfast. The length of treatment should be determined by the doctor based on the test results. Examples of medications:

Preparations neutralizing and coating the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach can be taken as supportive. Personally, I recommend Gastrotuss and Reflu-G - they are in the form of a paste/thick liquid and come in the form of single-dose sachets:

Dietary recommendations are also very important. Following a proper diet and eating meals at a specific time can significantly speed up the treatment and increase its effectiveness. It is worth considering consulting a dietician. Until then, I encourage you to use the following tips:

- eating small meals several times a day

- avoiding spicy, sour, irritating foods

- maintaining an upright position after eating a meal

- avoiding drinking more fluids (it is best to drink less and more often, between meals)

- avoiding eating before bedtime

- easily digestible diet - cooked dishes with less fat and sugar content (it is worth observing the body and eliminating foods that exacerbate symptoms)
