Hi.
The acid reflux could in itself be causing all the symptoms you are experiencing. They can include belching, heartburn, regurgitation of food or drink into the mouth, bitter taste in the mouth with regurgitation, sensation of lump at the back of the throat, dry cough, hoarseness of voice, etc. Treatment includes a list of dos and donts, but for now you can stary using 1 tablet of 30 mg lansoprazole once a day every morning.
Best wishes.
