Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Check with your doctor as to the exact medication that you have been given.
2. Addition of an anti-allergic, an anti-inflammatory medication, an anti-reflux and a medicated mouth gargle such as Tantum will help.
3. Since the fever is down and the throat looks normal, there is no cause for worry. Viral infections may present like this and take time to heal.
4. Your doctor may decide to do a blood test and a throat swab if there is no relief despite all medication, as suggested above.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.

Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. No, acid reflux is not XXXXXXX and a very common condition. Rest assured, it will not lead to cancer at your age.
2. Anti-reflux medication should be continued for six to twelve weeks to get long lasting relief.
3. If you are travelling soon, you may add Mucaine Gel or a similar antacid and request the doctor to add an anti-spasmodic for a few days.

Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. The diet should be bland, non-oily, non-spicy and avoid large meals. Eat smaller, frequent meals.
2. Raise the head end of the bed by 4-6 inches.
3. Avoid eating just before sleeping. Keep a gap of at least 2-4 hours before lying down.
4. With lifestyle and diet changes and medication, you should recover in a few weeks.
5. Certain common conditions such as hiatus hernia (USG Abdomen) and H pylori infections must be ruled out. Your doctor may also prescribe medication that increases motility and decreases gastric emptying time.
