<u>Answer:</u>

To help relieve heartburn, a person should take medicine that is 'Over-the-counter (OTC) antacids and acid blockers'.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Heartburn is a very common symptom of a condition called Gastroesophageal reflux disease.

This affects the lower part of the esophageal sphincter and also the muscle ring-like connection between the 'esophagus and stomach' which tends to infuse a backward flow of the stomach secretions.

Along with some dietary and life style changes, the intake of antacids and acid blockers can help in the relieve of the symptoms of occasional heartburn.
