What Causes Burning In Throat Along With Difficulty While Swallowing?
I suffer from acid reflux and take Dexilant for it. However tonight I ate some rice with cumin and I ended up not being able to breath with a horrible burning sensation as though I was having an allergic reaction to it. Throat feels like it has swollen up and I m still having issues breathing. What can I do to relieve this burning and swallowing problem?

Hello, Swelling of throat could be allergic reaction due to cumin.If you are still having burning sensation and difficulty in breathing,take Tablet Allegra 120 mcg twice daily until you get relieved of the symptoms. Acid reflux will cause burning of throat.Follow these precautions for acid reflux Avoid taking spicy foods Avoid taking hot beverages like Tea or Coffee Avoid sleeping within 3 hours of taking food Continue taking Dexilant empty stomach in the morning.
