I have tried everything from achiphex to now Protonix, even Zegrid, twice a day, and nothing, I barely eat right now, and when I do it is broth and crackers and this is due to my other symptoms that i now have which is pain when i do eat anything other than broth and crackers. when the lump first started i went to my ENT because I had just had my tonsils out a month prior and thought it was a scab
