Acid Reflux
Hi,
My recent throat examination shows acid reflux with granularity and it is causing swallowing discomfort and mild pain. I am prescribed rebeprozole and domperdone for 10 days, kindly advise how long it will take to feel normal.
Hi sir
Along with medication you need to make life style modifications. Regularise your meals
Don’t eat stomach full
Don’t wear tight clothes
Don’t lie down immediately after a meal
Avoid spicy and fatty food
Along with these modifications the medication can reverse your symptoms in about a month

Acid reflux disease is a lifestyle disorder. Unless u make some lifestyle modifications, u will continue to have symptoms for prolonged time. It will take some time to normalise.
