it could help. The doctor is treating you by trial and error. Prilosec is used for treating acid reflux. Some people dont have the reflux as a symptom they only have sore throat and chest pain.
That is correct! Those symptoms can sometimes be caused by acid reflux and your doctor knows that, so in absence of other findings, he is going with a proper treatment for the most common cause.
Prilosec contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach.
