For acid reflux the lifestyle modifications are as important as the medicine.
You should take a soft diet with minimum spices and oil. You should not lie down soon after eating. You should be upright (standing or sitting) for about half an hour after the meal. You should take about 100 gm of curds along with lunch. You should take an adequate amount of water.
You should also take Tab Pantaprazole D, Tab Gelusil , one tablet thrice daily. You should consult a General Physician if there is no relief within 2-3 days.
