You can have an antacid syrup which would give you relief.The following lifestyle changes could help:
- Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day
- Exercise regularly within your limits
- Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters
- Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation.
If the condition persists or worsens visit the ER
