Suggest Treatment For Heartburn, Breathing Difficulty, Nausea And Sore Throat

I have had a very severe sore throat and really bad ear aches. But, my doctor says my throat and ears look fine. I m confused because it hurts so bad. Also, headache, cough, and congestion. Occasionally it seems like I have very bad heartburn. So bad I can hardly breathe and it makes me feel nauseous.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of heartburn, breathing difficulty, nausea and sore throat. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like strep throat , viral pharyngitis and acid reflux . But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are probably due to both upper respiratory track infection and laryngopharyngeal reflux. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order throat swab test, blood test and examination with laryngoscope . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin , anti inflammatory and decongestants along with expectorant . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she find problem to be related with acid reflux . For now do warm saline gargles and take ibuprofen of acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
