Throat Congestion, Burping. Due To Indigestion?
Hi!
For the past month it feels as though I have a pill stuck in the back of my throat, and it usually starts to feel that way shortly after I swallow a pill ( I take 3/day) My doctor said it was indigestion or something but it wont go away, and I'm noticing that I'm also burping ALL the time. Not big ones, but little ones and always after I drink anything, but mainly being water.. I have no pain or heartburn so thats why I'm confused as to what it could be.. Any ideas?

Dear,
As per the history you have given and the clinical findings you may be suffering with Gastro esophageal reflux dystrophy (GERD).You must start proton pump inhibitors with anti reflux medicine ( Penta prozole & Domperidone ). along with antaacid gel two tea spoon full four times a day for 7 days.
But still I would suggest you to consult the Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more query. i will be pleased to answer.
Yours sincerely
