Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you have a throat problem for so long and are already taking antibiotics.
Also noted that you had to go to ER and got medicines for reflux disease.
Please continue PPI, antacids and add Domperidone at 8 houly duration.
It may take 3 weeks minimum for benefits.
Till you get an appointment with an ENT you can also try for Gastroenterologist and upper GI Endoscopy to get an additional proper treatment.
Soft bland diet.
Control of stress and anxiety.
