What Causes Burning And Small Bumps In Throat?

I had test done and was diagnosed with minor gerd. I have been on two different medications that do not seem to help much. Now I have started feeling burning in my throat and little bumps on the back of my throat. Is this something I should be worried about. My ears pop a lot too, not too painful but I notice it often. I have changed my diet and wish I could just feel better. Any suggestions?

Hi.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
All the symptoms you have mentioned go in favor of GERD. The reflux causes the avid to cause burning sensation and the swellings in the throat ; this in turn causes the Eustachian tube dysfunction and the popping sensation in the ears.
Since the 2 medicines you are already under is not helping you I would advise the following:
Zantac 12 hourly.
Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach.
Add Domperidone or such motility regulators.
Soft bland diet.
No aerated colas / soda/ drinks.
Early dinner. No late nights.
Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)
Lying in a reclining position
Walk around after dinner.
Think of the factors which increased the present problem, GERD, anxiety and try to avoid.
If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.
