Drinking soda for heartburn has some relief, but it is still necessary to clarify the cause of heartburn and treat the symptoms.
Heartburn is mainly caused by the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa. Soda water has an alkaline pH value, and drinking it properly can relieve the symptoms of heartburn, but it cannot cure the cause of heartburn. The patient can improve the gastroscopy to clarify whether there are diseases that cause heartburn. For example, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), etc., and then symptomatic treatment.
Gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease can use some drugs to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid as well as promote gastric power, such as omeprazole, ranitidine, mosapride tablets and so on. The above drugs are recommended to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
