It's normal when the production of acid in the stomach takes place, but the problem starts when there's excess secretion of the acid by gastric glands of the stomach. It happens due to the consumption of junk/ spicy food. This situation is also termed as ' heartburn '.
- You may use ' chewing gum '. It eases the problems caused by the heartburn.
- Try to suck a piece of clove. It will feel better.
- Use boiled - mint water. It will cool down the heartburn.
- Drink water, as much as you can.
- Coconut water is the best option you can choose.
