Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to GERD as chronic GERD can cause signs of upper respiratory or throat Inflammatory changes.

However, upper respiratory tract infection should be ruled out. Using antacids like omeprazole along with motility agents like domperidone can be helpful.

However, antihistamines like cetirizine or loratidine can be helpful. X-ray PNS and ENT specialist review is recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
