A doctor has provided 1 answer

Omeprazole for GERD: Omeprazole is used for gastro esophageal reflux as it cuts down the acid production.It is not a medicine for chest inflammation.Your doctor is treating you for acid regurgitation which can sometime cause cough and congestion.If you are not doing better, i will make another appt to see the doctor.
