A member asked:
Why did my ent doctor prescribe prilosec after my tracheotomy was healed? i haven't taken it for a few months. i don't have heartburn.

Prevention: Likely the ENT doctor put you on Prilosec to prevent any chance that you would have any gastroesophageal reflux, to give your tracheotomy ample time to heal. Some practices are to prevent and not to treat.
