Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of throat discomfort which seems to be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease and could be due to a combination of bacterial/viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
