I'm 28 and I've been struggling with acidity for quite a while now. It's really becoming a constant issue. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Also, I've been noticing my body temperature stays around 98.5F and one time it went up to 98.7F. Is that something to worry about or is it normal? I measured it with a digital thermometer under my arm, just wondering if that's close to being a fever.
