Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intermittent abdominal swelling, nausea and acidity these symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as acidic reflux . The condition occur when acidic content of stomach come upward due to upper esophagus sphincter dysfunction and cause irritation to the lining of throat and to larynx. It can leads to laryngitis as well. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy or X-ray of upper digestive track along with ambulatory acid test. You should exercise daily. Doctor may prescribe H2 blocker or proton pump inhibitor. Avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. For now eat light and non spicy food specially at night , eat at least one hour before going to bed and eat small meals .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
