Over The Counter Medication For Acid Reflux

Q.Are there over the counter medications that can be used to treat acid reflux disease? The reason I am asking is because my son seems to be having a few symptoms related to acid reflux disease and I was wondering if there are some over the counter medications that are available to treat this? so can anyone explain this to me please?

A.your son? younger people rarely have this problem it could be a symptom of disease or ulcer young people do get ulcers how much junk and soda does he consume soda has acid as well as sugar in it it could also be stress I think that you should also try this do not give him OTC medications take him to the doctor yo find out what is wrong first prilosec otc. try to avoid too much soda, chocolate, tomato products and caffene. also i find that most people have more reflux if they lay down right after eating. limit snacks before bead especially acidic oneslthe prilosec is kind of pricey but it works really well. avoid giving him tums etc because too much calcium can cause kidney stones. good luck! oh and look at bj;s or a wholesale store for the med.. much cheaper. i would get him to the dr because the stomach acid will eventually cause damage in the esphagus and can cause throat cancer among other things.
