It isn&#8217;t clear why, but it&#8217;s known that acid reflux can worsen asthma and asthma can worsen acid reflux \u2014 especially severe acid reflux, a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).<\/p>\n<p>Asthma and acid reflux can occur together in children as well as in adults. In fact, about half the children with asthma also have <abbr title=\"gastroesophageal reflux disease\">GERD<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>Treating acid reflux might help ease symptoms. You may be able to control acid reflux with over-the-counter medications \u2014 for example, a proton pump inhibitor, such as omeprazole (Prilosec OTC). Avoiding reflux triggers, such as fatty foods, alcohol and tobacco, also might help.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s not enough, you might need prescription medications. If you have asthma and think you might have acid reflux, talk to your doctor about the best treatments.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, asthma medications can worsen acid reflux. This is particularly true of theophylline (Elixophyllin, Theo-24, Theochron). But don&#8217;t quit taking or change asthma medications without getting your doctor&#8217;s OK first.<\/p>\n<p><!--googleoff: all--><\/p>\n<div class=\"contentbox no-border\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/~\/media\/kcms\/ux\/css\/newslettereh.css\"\/>\n<article>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\n                \u00a0\n            <\/p>\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-form\" data-sending-url=\"https:\/\/s74881809.t.eloqua.com\/e\/f2\" data-name-form=\"MKT.PES.HC.EmailSignup2\" data-last-step=\"true\">\n<div class=\"myc-step-container\">\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-step-wrapper\" id=\"first-step\" aria-describedby=\"formTitle\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"myc-form-comp-wrapper\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"gralError\" aria-describedby=\"errorBanner\" hidden=\"\">\n<p role=\"alert\" id=\"errorBanner\" class=\"myc-error-header\">There is a problem with<br \/>\n                                information submitted for this request.
