Some people have relatively mild GERD, and it is less difficult to treat. About 33% of patients are easier than the other 67%. It takes time to treat any lesions (sores) that may have occurred before treatment began. If you've been taking the medication as prescribed, and following other tips given to you by medical staff, you can expect some improvement within a couple of days.

If you don't gain any relief within a few days, a call back to the doctor is in order. Very best wishes to you ~ hope that you start feeling better very soon!
