Thanks for mentioning the tablet but i would also like to know if any changes needs to be made to daily diet like anything good to include during the day to avoid this happening so frequently. Just to add she take tea at the start of day and cup of milk in night before bed.
Brief Answer:
Avoid tea at the beginning of the day
Detailed Answer:
Hello again ,
I would suggest you to avoid caffeinated drinks like tea , coffee or soft drinks especially at the beginning of the day.
Let her also avoid spicy and oily food at least for the acute period of 10 to 15 days.
Additionally, Banana, curd will help to decrease acidity .

Thanks mam?
I got pantosec DSR tablet. Is that ok? It has sustain release of domperidone salt.
Moreover should she take probiotic like vizylac for few days?
