Antacids

• Heartburn is usually easily relieved by 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 - 30 ml) of liquid antacid by mouth.
• If you don't have an antacid, wash out the esophagus with 2 to 3 ounces (60 - 90 ml) of milk.
• For persistent heartburn, give antacid 1 hour before meals and at bedtime for a few days.
