HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, prilosec and other members of that family of drugs can sometimes take a few days to kick in.
You can try using meds such as peptobismol, gaviscon, milk of magnesia that would coat the lining of the stomach and esophagus and may help to give you some relief
One of these can be used along with the prilosec.
