Hello!

Thank you for the query.

There is no "best" medicine which will give him instant relief. I`m pretty sure the doctors have given him correct medicines which are PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) like Omeprasole or Pantoprasole. Most effective seems to be Esomeprasole. He needs to take one for at least few months. H.Pylori infection needs to be verified and cancer ruled out (they should take samples from the stomach for histopathology).
He should avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, coffee, chocolate, orange juice, painkillers.
Gastroscopy should be done for about 3 months.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
