As you have mentioned a diagnosis of hiatus hernia, also the symptoms relieving following aantacid use associted with it, these are symptoms of acid reflux.
Note for any oarticular food items or any medications which have caused the symptoms or have recently aggrevated them.
Suggested medications for symptomatic relief:-
ZYTEE GEL applied locally on sites of ulcers and red patches 2 to 3 times a day
MUCAINE GEL 10 ml can be taken 3 times a day, especially during severe symptoms, take it without use of water, and don't consume anything following it for half an hour for 7 to 14 days
CAPSULE SOMPRAZ D 40 two times a day 30 Mims before food morning and night for 7 to 14 days
CAPSULE BECOSULES in afternoon after food for 1 to 3 months
Next Steps
Consult a gastro surgeon for a futhur detailed analysis, if the symptoms you noted have become severe recently and are affecting you daily activities.
Do not overlook these symptoms as a long term acid reflux associated with hiatus hernia can pose complications.
Health Tips
- Avoid specific food items, including spicy food which Triggers an acid reflux.
- Avoid hot and chilled items, caffinated drinks, coffee, tea
- Go for small and light frequent meals 5 to 6 times a day rather than three large meals a day
- Avoid lying down immediately after food intake for 30 to 45 mins, and during sleep keep your upper body supported with pillows to Avoid reflux

Hello!
The red patches and burning sensation on your tongue, especially if they improve with antacids, can indeed be related to acid reflux (GERD) or silent reflux (LPR) — both of which are common in patients with a hiatus hernia. Acid or stomach contents can reach up to the mouth and irritate the tongue and oral mucosa, causing a burning or gritty feeling.
Other possible contributing factors include:
• Dry mouth (xerostomia) — often worse in the morning and can aggravate irritation.
• Vitamin deficiencies (especially B12, folate, iron).
• Oral candidiasis or glossitis.
• Allergic or contact reactions (to toothpaste, mouthwash, spicy foods, etc.)

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â red patches on the tongue with burning and gritty sensation, along with dry mouth and relief from antacids, can be related to several conditions, including acid reflux due to your grade-2 hiatus hernia, irritation from stomach acid, or less commonly, nutritional deficiencies or fungal infections.
â
Advices
⢠Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods that can worsen reflux and tongue irritation
⢠Eat smaller meals and avoid lying down immediately after eating
⢠Maintain good oral hygiene and rinse your mouth with plain water after meals
⢠If dry mouth is persistent, sip water frequently and consider using a saliva substitute after consulting your doctor
What to Monitor
⢠Increase in burning sensation or spreading of red patches
⢠Persistent dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, or change in taste
⢠Signs of oral infection such as white coating, sores, or bleeding
Management
You may continue antacids for temporary relief, but it is important to evaluate the underlying cause of the tongue changes, as treatment differs if it is due to reflux, deficiency, or infection. Avoid self-medicating beyond antacids.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Severe pain or difficulty swallowing
⢠Bleeding from tongue or mouth
⢠Rapid worsening of symptoms despite treatment
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, it is important to review your medical history, medications, and do a proper oral and gastrointestinal assessment.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation. I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
A personalized treatment plan
Safe medicine adjustments if required
Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
