Well GERD can be even the cause of the extraesophageal symptoms with the throat in foreground sometimes, and the most difficult to treat demanding longer treatment time three to more months and a continuous therapy or on demand therapy because you know: GERD is a chronic disease. As for the dietetic changes you are o.k as for your diner that should be always before 7 o'clock p.m. I'd recommend Nexium for another month and of course a consultation with an ORL doctor to value again your throat and your diagnose; you know throat in GERD has some typical features. I hope to have answered some of your interrogative points.
