How can the heartburn be fixed?
First, would make sure to establish care with your local GI doctor to ensure there isnt any long-term damage to the esophagus. Then, would try over the counter Pepcid Famotidine 40mg for a few weeks. If no improvement, you could trial a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. The most helpful treatment for heartburn and acid reflux are lifestyle modifications such as: avoiding hot spicy and acidic foods, avoiding caffeine, avoiding added sugars, avoiding alcohol, eating smaller more frequent meals, not eating within 2 hours of going to bed, and elevating the head of your bed.

What are the different types of inhalers used to treat asthma?
There are many different inhalers currently on the market for the treatment of asthma. The treatment for asthma follows a step-wise approach depending on the severity of your asthma. Treatment typically begins with a short acting bronchodilator , and progresses on to include a daily inhaled corticosteroid ICS, then a daily ICS combined with a long acting bronchodilator LABA, and finally progressing on to tripple therapy which includes a daily ICS-LABA and a muscarinic antagonist.

If I have a severe allergic reaction to food, what are the immediate emergency treatments given in the ER?
The first line therapy for a severe allergic reaction is Epinephrine. When in doubt, give Epi! Airway, breathing, and circulation remain a priority in the management of a severe allergic reaction. The ER may also administer IV fluids, oxygen, breathing treatments, steroids, and antihistamines i.e. Benadryl and Pepcid.
