Diagnosed With Acid Reflux. Taking Nexium And Ranitidine. Have Sore Throat After Eating And Burning In Nose. Remedy?
I have recently been diagnosed with acid reflux, and have been taking Nexium and Ranitidine. I have noticed that after eating during the day, I usually get a sore throat that lasts for a short time. I can't eat very much because I feel like I get "stuffed" quickly. At night when lying down it is very uncomfortable, and I feel very full. Today I have had a burning sensation in my nose, as if it was filled with water, when I bend over. Is this a sign of reflux as well? If so, how do I get rid of it? I have never had any problems with heartburn until a month ago.

Hello,
This is due to Acid reflex.
In this condition due to the laxity of the lower esophageal sphincter the gastric acid gets regurgitated into the throat and causes irritation.
To avoid all the discomforts follow the below instructions
1. Eat small meals frequently.
2. Sleep two hours after meal.
3. follow the medications regularly.
