Yes. I have been taking antibiotics for over an month. I was asked to take them for atleast 2 months. Esomac 40 and gaviscon are the antacids prescribed.
I get cramps in my esophageal, that starts from my upper stomach and radiates to my throat.
No antispasmodic was prescribed by the doctor. He said it could be sensitivity issue and prescribed tryptomer 10 mg for 2-3 months..

I would recommend further evaluation into your condition. A esophageal manometry test which assesses the pressure inside the esophagus and determine the motility or contraction pattern the esophagus should be done. This will provide info into what and where exactly is the problem in esophagus.
Based on the report specific type of antispasmodic for symptomatic relief can be used.
