Gastroesophageal reflux disease center: Hello, gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common, multi-morbidity and chronic disease, the effect of treatment varies greatly from person to person depending on the disease. Generally speaking, if you simply have acid reflux, heartburn, retrosternal pain and other digestive symptoms, oral esomeprazole and other drugs that inhibit stomach acid can be effective in a week; however, if combined or with foreign body sensation in the throat, cough, chest tightness and breathlessness and other respiratory symptoms, the effect will be slower. Therefore, treatment must be adhered to. If medication is not effective, or if you do not want to take medication for a long time, you can consider radiofrequency treatment. Radiofrequency treatment takes roughly one week for hospitalization.
