What Is The Cause And Treatment For Recurring Sore Throat?
I have had a sore throat for a year now. Doctors think it is acid reflux. Have had endoscopy, gastric emptying test, cat scan. All came out negative. I have tried all otc drugs, Prilosec, zantac. They do not work. I am now trying Nexium but that seems to be making sore throat worse and I am coughing more. On top of that I am dealing with osteoporosis. I am only 43 years old. What do you suggest? Please help.

hello!
it is most likely that you are having acid reflux and there are many other drugs which are better than nexium for it!
besides you have to modify your diet, avoid hot and spicy food!!
please meet your gastro entrologist for further advice
thanks
