Call: Your doctor. If no relief. I recommend a endoscopy to see what's going on. You should have had some change in symptoms.

OTC or Rx?: If you are taking over the counter PPI and are not getting relief then you may have a misdiagnosis or you need prescription strength medication. Either way you should see your doc. If you saw your doc to get the PPI then call the doc and ask him how much longer until you will feel better.
