Proper
treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) always
begins with a visit to a healthcare professional to obtain an accurate
diagnosis. It is important to recognize that chronic reflux does not get better
on its own. Over-the-counter remedies may provide short-term symptom relief,
but can mask an underlying disease if used long-term. Treatment for GERD may
include medications advised by your doctor and certain diet and lifestyle
changes. A combination of approaches, and some trial and error, may be
necessary.
