<human>:  What's the best way to treat heartburn?
<bot>: The best way to treat heartburn is to avoid foods and beverages that trigger it, such as citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, spicy and fatty foods, chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Additionally, eating smaller meals more frequently, not eating late at night, and avoiding tight clothing can also help to reduce heartburn. Over-the-counter medications, such as antacids, can also provide temporary relief from symptoms. If heartburn persists, consult your doctor for other treatment options.
