Answered by Dr. Naveen (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Laryngopharyngeal reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

With the brief history given by you, I do feel, you could be suffering from Laryngopharyngeal reflux secondary to acid reflux disease. A detail examination of the larynx and pharynx would confirm the diagnosis.

In this context my suggestions to you are:
1. Drink plenty of warm water.
2. Avoid chilled food and beverages, coffee, fizzy drinks and smoking.
3. Try OTC antacids.
If the symptoms do not get better, consult your doctor for a complete evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.

Regards
