I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank lemon juice from a copper vessel this morning, and it made me vomit. Even after having lunch, I'm still not feeling great inside. Could this be something serious? Should I be concerned about any long-term effects or do you have any advice on what I should do next?

No problem take antacid and ondensetron,take time consume liquids for today you will be fine.

I've been dealing with GERD and a hiatal hernia for 20 years and take daily meds should I consider surgery at this point? The constant meds are getting exhausting and I'm worried about long-term effects

Yes, after 20 years of daily medication for GERD and a hiatal hernia, it's reasonable to consider surgery, especially if you're concerned about long-term medication effects and experiencing persistent or bothersome symptoms. Surgery, such as fundoplication, can effectively address the underlying issues of GERD and hiatal hernia, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
