What Does Burning Sensation In The Throat Indicate?

Hello. I have had what I describe as frequent heartburn for quite awhile now. Though it is not in the chest it is more in my throat. I have taken Zantac (sp?) and other over the counter meds to try to tame the beast. I am home with the flu today and after throwing up around 3:00am that burning sensation in my throat just won’t go away. I am drinking ginger ale then switched to Gatorade and now just water as it is very irritated. Any suggestions? I know I should probably go get scoped but I am a tad afraid of the results....stupid I know.

Based on the history you have shared, it seems to be an acute upper respiratory tract infections signs early on and using losenges or saline water gargles may help.
