Question: my daughter woke up around 3am this morning saying her throat was sore felt a pill was stuck, she said it felt sore like she had punched herself in the throat. I had her drink water it didn't help then warm tea and soup didn't help. she has no fever no cold symptoms. We have a flea problem thanks to we live in apartment were some have animals and my cats and 1 dog. The part I'm confused on is no swollen tonsils no cold or fever.

Brief Answer:
Could be a reflux diseases!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is probably caused by acid reflux. For now, I recommend omeprazole 20mg daily. This will help with her symptoms. She should also avoid sleeping soon after meals, alcohol, chocolates and cigarettes. If her weight is more than recommended she should work on loosing some of the excess weight. In addition, she should use use a pillow while sleeping at night.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
