How long does it take for a throat burned by acid reflux to heal? on nexium (esomeprazole). still feel like there's a little ulcer/sore on rt side but getting better

Can take weeks: If the severity of the reflux is moderate or less, symptoms should get better quickly, with full healing on endoscopy to be seen in 4-8 weeks
