Brief Answer:
Yes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Yes you need to take prilosec tablet to reduce acid reflux as this may cause further damage or burn.
For your existing damage the treatment is you need to give time for it to heal . Local ointments won't be of much help as it won't stay for longer period there.
So continue prilosec and also take a multivitamin which fastens healing process. Avoid intake of hot fluids. Take mild colder fluids.
For swollen tongue you need to take serratiopeptidase which reduce odema.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
