Hello,
With the question “How to treat gastroesophageal reflux? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gastroesophageal reflux has many causes, depending on the cause, the doctor will combine different drugs.
Sucralfate and Esomeprazole can be used together but must be taken 1-2 hours apart due to different mechanisms of action. During the treatment period, often the doctor will advise you to limit foods with stimulant properties such as sour, spicy, carbonated water, onions, garlic and pepper, fatty foods, alcohol and tobacco. You should not lie down immediately after eating, do not eat too full, do not eat dinner too late,...
If you still have questions about gastroesophageal reflux, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System to Check and advise further. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
