How do you cure GERD?

 GERD treatment focuses on managing symptoms and reducing the frequency of acid reflux. Lifestyle changes play a pivotal role, including dietary adjustments like avoiding trigger foods, such as spicy or acidic dishes, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating. Elevating the head during sleep can help, as can weight loss for those who are overweight.

Medications like antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed to reduce acid production or neutralize stomach acid. In severe cases, surgical interventions might be considered to strengthen the lower oesophagal sphincter or repair a hiatal hernia contributing to GERD symptoms. However, treatment plans often vary based on individual needs and the severity of the condition. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential to determine the most effective treatment strategy for managing GERD.
