To alleviate symptoms such as a sore throat, stomach ache, acid reflux, and difficulty eating and swallowing, there are over-the-counter antacids available at pharmacies like Tums and Gaviscon. For more severe cases, stronger treatments like ranitidine or pantoprazole may be necessary. Your pharmacist can also provide more potent medication with a prescription. It's important to consider when the symptoms started, possible triggers like spicy or fatty foods or alcohol, and whether the symptoms worsen after meals or at night. If you have tried other methods to relieve your symptoms or if you are experiencing additional symptoms like fever, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss, it is important to seek medical advice.
