Hi, i do care for your concern.
The symptoms suggest of gastro oesophegal reflux disease.
I would advise
to start on proton pump inhibitor and continue for 3 weeks duration, which will help.
plenty of water and avoiding coffee will add to the help.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

3. Sucking on a cough drop will help soothing of throat by increasing saliva production
