Hi,
You may be having reflux of gastric contents into the throat which is causing you the throat discomfort. You need to start on Proton pump inhibitors (such as Esomeprazole/Pantoperazole) and avoid smoking/alcohol/spicy/oily foods/coffee/tea/stress. Before starting on the medications please get yourself thoroughly investigated by an apt ENT specialist.
