GERD can be cured with aggressive treatment, but persistence is needed as it is prone to recurrence, with some patients experiencing recurrent and prolonged symptoms. In general, factors such as long-term alcohol consumption, smoking, food or drug irritation can increase the risk of GERD. To treat GERD, the first thing you need to do is to avoid eating irritating foods, such as coffee, strong tea, foods containing alcohol, spicy foods, etc., eat less or even no sweets, have a regular work schedule, and don’t stay up all night. Treatment is generally based on acid suppression, antacid, and promotion of gastric emptying, such as omeprazole, aluminum thioglycollate, domperidone, etc., and surgical or interventional treatments are needed for serious conditions. If you are diagnosed with GERD, you should actively cooperate with your professional doctor for treatment and adhere to a good routine to avoid recurrence of the disease.
