1. Since acid reflux can reach the back of throat, and thus causes cough and sore throat, could be GERD [gastro esophageal reflux disease], thus at the time of consultation ask for Investigations like: Gastroscopy, Stool Examination, Gastric Analysis.
. Avoid chillies and sour food, smoking & alcohol, chickpea flour, junk food
. Stop Irritants like NSAIDs [pain killers]
. Drink 4 spoons of aegle marmelos leaves juice for 14 days, cold water, white gourd melon, honey, pomegranate, amla
. mix 3 pinch each of dry ginger powder+ Amla+ Sugar and eat.
