What Can I Do For Sore Throat And Headache While Suffering From GERD?
I take Nexxum in the morning and 300 mgs of Zantac at night and am still having gerd problems. Waking with sore throat and headache. Tonight I have coating on my tongue. I also have a hernia with stomach coming into chest area. Would baking soda help or is there anything I can do?
