What do you suggest if my gerd/acid reflux is not going away at all!!!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EGD: Your gold standard test in this regard would be the EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) in which a GI doctor puts a camera down your throat while you're under sedation and looks for things like hiatal hernia (causes reflux), ulcers, gastritis and duodenitis. You can try medications like Prilosec or Nexium, (esomeprazole) but the test is an important step to document the issue.
