How long does it take for acid reflux to go away?
I started suffering from the symptoms of acid reflux the week after Thanksgiving. On December 21, I went to a doctor and he gave me Prevacid. I’ve been taking that since then. I started feeling much better about a week after I started taking the medication, but my symptoms are not all the way gone. Sometimes I still feel like I have a lump at the back of my throat and I have to burp a lot. Occasionally I’m slightly nauseous. How long does it typically take to recover from acid reflux, or do you recover at all? And when I run out of medication, should I be fine by then or will I need more? I have enough for about a month and a half. I do plan on going back for a check up at the end of this month as well, as my doctor asked me to. A: I hope your doctor suggested diet changes as well as medication. Avoid anything spicy, deep fried, caffeine, chocolate, peppermint, orange juice, pineapple juice, and tomato sauces. Also try eating smaller meals so you don’t distend or stretch your stomach o
