HI, Welcome to HCM, I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue. There is irritation and discomfort which is because of regurgitation of food. most probably its sore throat. If i will be your treating doctor I would advise you to
- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect. AVOID: > Chilled water > Drinks > Spicy food Take your dinner at least 2 hours before bed time.
