14 Year Old, Gurgling Noise In Throat For 2 Years. Will Reflux Medicine Help?

My 14 year old teen complains of loud gurgling noises in her throat. Mostly embarrassing and loud in class.
She is petite and eats slow and healthy. She gave up gum and can does not burp to remove air. It now happens every day, even after small snack.. She has suffered for 2 years and is frustrated. Do you recommend reflux meds?
