Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore throat and Raspy voice along with burning in chest, throat and bloated stomach seems to be all due to GASTRO-ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE commonly known as Acid reflux in which acid from stomach refluxes into food pipe leading to inflammation and causing burning sensation as well as sore throat is due to it.
Raspy voice is due to inflammation of vocal cords with the acid..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and he can also advise you investigations like Upper G. I Endoscopy and Laryngoscopy..
In case if acid reflux is diagnosed as the cause he can advise you Proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole or Rabeprazole, antacid like Milk of Magnesia or Calcium carbonate, H2 blockers like Ranitidine, taking small frequent meals, avoid spicy and acidic foods, Drink plenty of water, take more of Probiotics like Yoghurt, do moderate workout and sleep with head and chest slightly raised to prevent reflux..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
