Acidity/ GERD
My husband is suffering from acidity since one month. He took pantoprazole tablets for a week. It didn't help. So we visited a gastroenterology specialist and he prescribed esokem L tablet for a week after doing an endoscopy. He said he has GERD. Now doctor told to stop medicine but follow the diet he had told. But the problem is still there. He gets pain near chest, back if he gives little gap for 2 hours.
