Gastritis flare up. Wait for it to settle down or get PPI's??

Hi.

I have had acid reflux for the past five years. It had been treated with a few courses PPI's over the course of those five years.

Now after my last bad attack, which was due to drinking alcohol, I believe I developed gastritis as well.

Anyway six months ago after that attack I got another course of PPI's and quit drinking; total abstinence, and for the last six months and I have been fine and clear of reflux and gastritis.

But I stupidly took a course of OTC ibuprofen and after a few days of the course the reflux/gastritis reappeared. I knew that Ibuprofen can irritate the stomach wall, but thought I would be ok. I stopped the Ibuprofen on Monday and my symptoms have been getting better day by day - I don't have the sensation of something stuck in my throat any more and my burps are subsiding.

I'm wondering should I leave going to the doctors and see if it settles down or go and get some more PPI's?

Can Gastritis/Reflus settle down naturally? My flare up isn't due to alcohol this time, just Ibuprofen, and doesn't feel so bad.

Cheers.
