Hello,

You can help with the symptoms by eating and drinking frequent small amount of food and fluids. It is better to have 5-6 small meals than 2-3 big ones, this would reduce the reflux of the stomach content in your throat. Also try to avoid spicy food, fried food and take fruit and vegetables. Avoid alcohol, smoking and coffee.

You can also take some ranitidine or omeprazole to reduce the acidity in the stomach and improve the reflux.

You will need to see your local doctor and he will decide if you need to see the gastroenterologist or the oncologist.

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