My husband has heartburn from chemotherapy. I don't know how to help relieve his pain.?

He is doubling over in pain. He is taking Protonix, Pepcid and Maalox. He called the doctor yesterday. He told him to try the Pepcid. I'm desperate for help. If anyone has any idea how I can help him please let me know. I'm at my whits end. Thanks.

Ask his doc about Nexium - its much better than Pepcid.

sorry to hear your husband has been ill and wishing him a good recovery!for heartburn,try an old method!1/2 teaspoon of bicarb of soda(baking soda) in a small glass of milk,it tastes rank but it works! good luck!
