My esophagus (from just below my tonsils down to between my breasts) has been burning for 72 hours. Hurts more whilst breathing in & is accompanied by hacking yellow brown cough that burns like fire. My 6yr old was diagnosed flu type B 2 weeks ago & I AM PREGNANT(1st trimester)...symptoms aren t decreasing .....any ideas?
