Brief Answer:
continue medication for at least 8 weeks

Detailed Answer:
You seem to have gerd ( gastroesophageal reflux disease).
I would advise you take neksium continuously for a period of 8 weeks . in case the symptoms persist after 8 weeks you might need to take it on a long term basis.
I would advice you to
Avoid , tobacco, alcohol, chocolate flavoured and mint flavoured foods, carbonated drinks and red meat
Avoid lying within 3 hours of meals.
Restrict tea or coffee to less than 2 cups per day
Get regular exercise like brisk walk.
Hope this helps
