No : Given the Nexium (esomeprazole) about a week to reach its maximum effectiveness.

LPR: Sometimes it's hard to tell nasal drip from LPR. NEXIUM (esomeprazole) is a good choice but one must avoid all food triggers to further calm down the LPR. Avoid caffeine alcohol chocolate cigarettes peppermint and all spicy foods. Eat very bland diet for a few days. If after a few weeks symptoms persist adding a H2 blocker at night may help. Good luck!

Possibly either: Globus (phantom lump) sensation has multiple etiologies. Sinus post nasal drip and laryngopharyngeal reflux are two common reasons. If LPR is the cause, dietary modification and PPI may take many weeks before noticeable improvement. See an otolaryngologist with persistent symptoms.
