Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you have an acid reflux and sore throat is also due to it only..
You are advised to take antacid that is a correct therapy but along with it other medicines and dietary modifications are required..
You need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and an Upper G.I E endoscopy can help in confirming the cause so that treatment can be done accordingly..
If acid reflux is confirmed as the cause you can be advised to take antacid but along with it Proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole, avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating more of Probiotics like Yoghurt , taking small frequent meals, doing moderate workout, taking dinner atleast 2 hours before sleeping and sleeping with head and chest slightly raised as compared to feet and recline in left lateral position..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
