Hi sir
Along with medication you need to make life style modifications. Regularise your meals
Don’t eat stomach full
Don’t wear tight clothes
Don’t lie down immediately after a meal
Avoid spicy and fatty food
Along with these modifications the medication can reverse your symptoms in about a month

Acid reflux disease is a lifestyle disorder. Unless u make some lifestyle modifications, u will continue to have symptoms for prolonged time. It will take some time to normalise.
