A member asked:

Pain in throat near vocal chords for 10 days when swallowing. i think it's due to gerd. ok to start taking prilosec without seeing a doctor first?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Ok to start a trial of this. If it doesn't work however, stop. Give it a couple weeks. If it does work, ok to stay on it for 3 months or so, then wean off. If symptoms return, restart the medication and see your doctor. Hope this helps!
