Prescribed Nexium For Hiatus Hernia, Gastric Reflux. Have Throat Ulcers. Want Opinion

hi my husband has just been diagonized wit a hiatus hernis & sever gastric gord reflus, The Dr put him on 40mg of Nexium. In 3 months he goes back to have another test.
He has now learnt from his GP That the condition could be serious & we would like your truthful opinion as he has 5 lge ulcers in his throat.
They have said that they have put him on a double dose of Nexium so hopefully that will treat the problem. They say if it is not success full that these ulcers will turn cancerous or the ulcers will erupt and he would dye emediatly because the are full of poison,
I would like to know if I have to address this problem seriously !!!
Thank you Rhonda xx
