Hi,
Please continue to take omeprazole for one week. The medication should be taken at least 30 min before having food.
a) Along with medications have food at proper time.
b) Do not Skip your meals.
c) Include fresh fruits in your diet.
d) Avoid spicy and oily items in your meals.
e) The time gap between your dinner and sleep should be min 2-3 hrs.

Please follow these instructions along with the tablet for one week, if there is any improvement continue the same for another week. If there is no improvement then you would likely require to under go investigations.
