Thank you Doctor.
Please let me know for how long I need to continue these medicines.
Also, should I consult ENT to rule out any throat problems. Because, after having meals I constantly need to clear my throat as if something is stuck just below my throat. Also, I experience lot of tightness in the throat. This problem is troubling me a lot.
