Hi and welcome.

At this acute phase, it would be good if he could get Ranitidin 150mg or pantorpasol 40mg and take it. Also, as home remedy he should take warm mint tea and one spoon of olive oil. Also, almond may help to relieve pain and spamsms in esophagus. Also, he should lay with elevated upper body and you can put warm towel on abdomen to relax abdominal muscles. Wish you goods health.
