A member asked:

Hi had an endoscopy last month and i have a mildly inflamed esophagus so i've been on and off prilosec and nexium (esomeprazole) but still have sore throat,heartburn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more time: Prilosec and nexium (esomeprazole) need time to work. Ideally you should take them daily before breakfast and for 2 months. If your symptoms persist or return after you stop therapy, you should consider a pH monitoring study to quantify the magnitude of the problem and take further action.
