Question 1

I'm wondering if it's safe to take Normaxin RT for acid reflux after I've had papaya or other fruits in the morning. Here's what I did today: I had giloy juice, then Chyawanprash, then papaya, and finally took Normaxin RT, all with about a half-hour gap in between. Is this okay to do? Would love some guidance.

I've been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in my upper stomach and the pain is constant it's making it hard to eat properly. Is this something that can be treated with medication or will I need surgery? Also, could you recommend a good doctor for this? I'm really concerned about my condition.

They may recommend medicines called antacids or alginates, which can help ease your symptoms. It's best to take these with food or soon after eating, as this is when you're most likely to get symptoms. They may also work for longer if taken with food.
