Acid in mouth and throat
Hi doctor,
I suffer from acidity on and off. But a couple of days back i started getting a sour taste in my mouth and then throat burn. I also had a little bit of indigestion. Since it wasn't going away I shifted to a light food diet and having rantac 150 twice a day. The acidity has reduced but not gone away... It's been 3 days with rantac. What should I do?
Please guide thanks

You seem to be having acid reflux/ GERD. You need to use acid secretion reducing drugs like ppi for some time. Consult a Gastroenterologist for further testing needed, based on your complaints. Follow some diet restrictions also.
Health Tips
Avoid spicy and nonveg food, deep fries, coffee, chocolate.
