Hi, so you have been diagnosed as LPR earlier, yes ent surgeons can diagnose LPR based on your symptoms and examination
The doctor has started you already with antacid and gaviscon is also fine to take. Nothing to worry and you can use the medication.
It can be diagnosed by upper GI Endoscopy also by gastroenterologist, if you want to know and need more clarification you can consult them ..
Usually it varies the healing time, depending upon an individual symptoms and diagnosis
