A member asked:
Recently diagnosed with lpr. dr put me on ppi twice daily. since then, i have felt more burning in my throat than usual. is this a normal?

Maybe not LPR but...: ...you can't expect relief from LPR after taking only a few PPI pills. If no benefit from at least a 2-4 week PPI treatment course, then consider further testing for clarity of diagnosis.
