What Causes Acid Reflux Along With Constant Burping And Ear Pain?

Hi, I m Joan, I have acid reflux but not heartburn. When the acid reflux started about two years ago, characterized by constant burping, I started having problems with sinuses, especially ear aches and aching which seemed to radiate from the back of the throat to the ear. I also constantly have what feels like irritation in the throat. Does this mean that acid is refluxing into my throat?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query have acid reflux along with constant burping and ear pain, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to belching . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You should take few preventive measures such as keep bed raised on bed side. You should take small but frequent meals. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production as well as bloating . Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food and drink warm water several times a day for bloating. Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Peanut could be the cause and apart from this fatty food is the major cause. Alka seltzer could quell this, Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
