Brief Answer:
Laryngopharygeal Reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

The symptoms you have described seems to be related to a condition called Laryngopharygeal Reflux secondary to acid regurgitation from the stomach into the throat.

You need to take medicines such as proton pump inhibitors and antacids for few weeks. Drink plenty of water water. Avoid chilled food and beverages, coffee and fizzy drinks.

If the symptoms do not subside with the above medications, you should get a Laryngoscopy done to examine the Laryngopharynx.

Hope this answers your query. I’ll be available for the follow up queries.
