Bucket brigade: But that’s not the full picture…
Actionable steps:
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.
Try lifestyle changes first: Eat smaller meals, avoid triggers like spicy foods late at night, and elevate your head while sleeping.
Discuss periodic “breaks” or switching to antacids with your provider.
Many find that simple dietary adjustments make a big difference in reducing symptoms.
3. Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) – Like Tylenol
This is often seen as a safer first choice for pain or fever because it doesn’t irritate the stomach like NSAIDs.
However, exceeding recommended doses over time can strain the liver. Studies show that accidental overuse is a common issue, especially when combined with other products containing it.
Quick list of tips to stay safe:
Stick to no more than 3,000–4,000 mg per day (check labels carefully).
Avoid alcohol while using it regularly.
Monitor total intake from all sources, including cold remedies.
Doctors appreciate when patients are proactive about tracking this.
