Teenager. Pain In Throat When Eating And Breathing. Diagnosed Acid Reflux. No Help From Prescribed Carafate And Prilosec. Suggest

Hi, my 15 year old daughter is having pains in her throut and chest when she eats, drinks, and breaths. We took her for a chest X-ray , and did not see anything. The diadnosis was acid reflux and they prescribed a liquid Carafate 10ml and Prilosec 20 mg. she does not seem to be getting any relieve. I have had acid reflux, and my symptoms did not last for 3 days w no relieve. It also never bothered me to breath like it does for her. I am planning on taking her back to the doctor tomorrow, but I am anixious for any answers or suggestions you could help us with now.

Thanks
