Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Acid Reflux And Coughing
Probably not a cause for concern but just wondering if it s worth seeing a doctor. Last night I woke up coughing. This has happened in the past a couple of times when I forgot to take my tablet for keeping my acid reflux under control. A recent endoscopy revealed a small hernia that my doctor said to keep an eye on. Not sure if any of that is related to my current issue but for the past couple of days I have had an itchy, dry, minor sore throat and croaky voice. It feels like there is something stuck and whenever I try to clear it I can feel the walls of my airway close up for a couple of seconds. My nose is a little stuffy too. I don t have any trouble breathing in general though and I do not have a temperature or headache. In the past I have had the common cold but haven t ever experienced anything like this, mostly just runny nose, coughing and sneezing etc. Is this a common cold or something different?
If a similar patient comes to my opd I would suggest to continue your medications and take medicine for your cough and cold. As you have been diagnosed with a hernia, it can aggravate due to the pressure of cough
And sneezing. the problem you feel in your throat can be due to the cold.
Even after your cough and cold is under control if you feel something different in your throat kindly meet your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
D Jilu Joseph, General & Family Physician
