Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of Gastro-esophageal reflux, which is treated with antihistamine or proton pump inhibitors. If you did not notice any improvement or the condition got worse, you need to re-check with your doctor for further evaluation and changing the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Abed Tahrawi
