Best to see a MD: It is reasonable as an initial treatment to try Prilosec or another OTC stomach medicine at first. If the symptoms persist for longer then two weeks, or are unchanged during that time, you are best served to se a doctor. It might be an infection, treated with antibiotics or something more serious.
