Hello doctor. I have the phenomenon of bitter mouth, acid overflowing into the mouth. Mouth and lips are always burning very uncomfortable. Sometimes the tongue seems to be pricked by a needle, going to the test to conclude gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux. After taking the drug for almost two months now, the symptoms are getting worse and worse. Please consult your doctor for help.

Hello, gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic disease, difficult to definitively treat. A combination of medications and lifestyle modifications is more effective than either treatment alone. You should not eat too much during meals, should not eat within 2-3 hours before going to sleep, should sleep low, exercise healthy and limit stress.
If after combining with lifestyle adjustments, you still have the above symptoms, we recommend that you go back to see your doctor to see if you need to adjust your prescription for gastroesophageal reflux disease or not. .
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
