What Causes Pressure And Tightness In The Chest?

Heart burn secondary to hiatus hernia...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
Your daughter seems to be having heart burn secondary to the hiatus hernia and acid regurgitation into oesophagus and the throat. This is the prime reason for the chest and throat discomfort.
Yeast infection does occur due to stress, reduced immunity, certain medications, etc. Prednisone is not an appropriate choice at this juncture. She would require systemic proton pump inhibitors to reduce the heartburn quickly and the effects of hiatus hernia. Potent oral antacids will reduce the pain in the neck as well as chest discomfort.
I hope this has answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.

Canker sore/residual oral thrush...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing back
Sores in the mouth could either be canker sore or residual oral thrush (yeast infection). If you can send me a picture of the oral cavity, I can help you in a better way.
If it is canker sores, then gargles with oral steroid solution can reduce the inflammation. If the sores are secondary to the oral thrush, then, suspensions like Posaconazole has to be used.
Meanwhile, the medicines for hiatus hernia mentioned in my earlier response has to be continued.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Kindly send me few photos of the oral cavity, if possible.
Thanking you
