Antacids

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Treatment depends on severity of acidity.

For occasional and mild acidity, best is to take antacids like digene syrup and other measures like milk, upright posture, cleaner food and water helps.

For more frequent and troublesome acidity, you might need medicines like omeprazole (10mg) or ranitidine (150mg) once a day before dinner.

Hope it helps.
