Laryngopharyngeal reflux secondary to the acid reflux disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query
I have gone through the query and understood your problem.
Your symptoms are related to Laryngopharyngeal reflux secondary to acid reflux disease. When the acid regurgitates into the throat from the stomach, it causes mucosal inflammation. To reduce this inflammation, the body secretes excess saliva or phlegm. This is what you perceive in the throat.
The best way to eliminate this issue is to make lifestyle modifications and take a few medications to prevent Laryngopharyngeal reflux.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Drink frequent sips of warm water
2. Take medications for the acid reflux
3. Avoid coffee, chilled food, and beverages
4. Avoid stress, do exercises regularly
With the above measures, you should get better. I hope this answers your query; revert to me if you have any follow-up queries.

Proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic medications
Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
Welcome back
You would require Proton pump inhibitors (such as Pantoprazole or Esomeprazole) and prokinetic medications to reduce acid reflux and mucosal inflammation. The bumps in the back of the throat are the granulations secondary to nasal allergy and acid reflux and are complementary to each other.
With proper medications and lifestyle behavioral modifications, you will get better.
I hope this clarifies your doubts. I wish you good health.
