How to deal with GERD?

The doctor did the esophageal acid dripping experiment for grandfather. He gave grandfather saline through nasal catheter. On the other hand, he gave grandfather acid dripping. He found that grandfather had symptoms of sternal pain after acid dripping. He was diagnosed as GERD. The doctor said the disease needed medication.

So he prescribed some cisapride and other gastrointestinal motility promoting drugs to help grandfather improve gastrointestinal motility and promote food digestion. There are also some mucosal protectants, which can protect the mucosa that has been corroded by gastric acid, thus protecting the intestinal tissue.

In addition to taking medicine, doctors also need to pay more attention to the rules of life. When sleeping, the head should be higher than the body part. You can raise the pillow or the head of the bed to prevent stomach acid from flowing back to the throat at night, causing heartburn and cough.
