Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of heart burn like feeling at the back of tongue and throat is because of increased acidic reflux which is causing gastritis. Need not t o worry about it as it is due to increased acid production. I would suggest you to take proton pump inhibitors omeprazole, ranitidine and prokinetics for around 3 weeks. Do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food substances. Avoid cold drinks. Avoid tea, coffee. Take small but frequent meals and do exercise before going to bed. Your symptoms will resolve soon. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once an get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms you have burning sensation in throat and mouth and these are also features of Gastro-esophageal reflux or acid reflux.
Nothing to worry, you can take Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprzole.
Take antacid like Milk of magnesia before meals.
Drink plenty of cold water..
Avoid spicy and acidic foods and heavy and large meals..
Take small meals every after 2 to 3 hours.
Take your dinner atleast before 2 hours before sleeping.
Take a short walk after meals..
Sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet while sleeping.
If you are overweight try shedding off some weight..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
