Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you! Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.   Looks like you have Gastroesophageal Reflux disease, and due to that, stomach acid continuously comes up in the food pipe and makes throat irritation. Your infection of deep throat is causing cough and pain is actually acid burn ( heart burn). You need to go for an H. Pylori infection testing and come back to me with the results. For the time being, temporarily I suggest you to take Nexium 40mg twice daily before meals. I will wait for the response. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to ask me a question directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question. Have a wonderful time ahead. Please don t forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you always in a better way. Click at Thanks & I Find This Answer Helpful too. Please, write a review on my profile, about your experience with me.   Regards! DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF PHILADELPHIA, USA
