What Causes Acid Reflux And Sore Throat?
I have barrettes esophagus and try to avoid foods that trigger acid reflux. Last night I woke up to intense acid reflux burning from my stomach up to a sore throat. I had a rash on my chest and kept coughing up a stringy gel-like phlegm. Was it just a bad case of acid reflux or something else?
