A member asked:

How much time it will take to cure severe gerd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD: Symptoms from GERD often are alleviated rather quickly (several days) with medications like Nexium, (esomeprazole) Prilosec among others that are available over the counter now. If symptoms persist then an endoscopy should be done.

Dr Akinjagunla and another doctor agreed
