Suggest Treatment For Indigestion, Heart Burn And Excessive Burping
Yes 5-7 days ago I suffered from horrible indigestion heartburn pain excessive burping (wet burps too). I started taking Prilosec and it hasn't brought me any relief. The indigestion and heartburn pain if anything has worsened. I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out its something scary like cancer or something.

Hi, i do care for your concern.
I am of the opinion that you need not worry right now.
Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor(antacid), that works best when taken half an hour before food.
the treatment should be continued for 3 weeks, to get a good response.
Avoid taking spicy food, have your dinner at least two hours before going to bed, avoid caffeine containing drinks.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
