Remedy For Acid Reflux

Q.My dad recently had prostate surgery and has been taken antibiotics for about a week now. Unfortunately they are giving him a lot of heartburn. The over the counter stuff isn't working ( zantac, maalox, tums). We called the doctor and they say he needs to take for 2 more days and weren't really helpful in any suggestions to help other than chase it with food. Any suggestions on what else he can try for the heartburn?
