Acid burn
I have replied on your other post. It's best to keep to one post- thread.
You could also ask for referal to ENT re: throat concerns. May be quicker than Gastroenterology.
I am on Zoton Fastab Lansoprazole orodispersible. I believe they are best protection. Symptoms returned when swapped to generic Lansoprazole capsules.
ENT would do Nasendoscope in clinic appointment.
Some people find Gaviscon Advance Peppermint or Peptac helps. Especially at night.
Unless you have Arthritis in the neck use lots of pillows at night. To try to prevent Laryngopharyngeal Reflux which "pools" in the throat at night.
I wish I could give you a((( hug))). My transplant surgeon's nurse told me pantoprazole can damage kidneys quickly and is for very short usage. Rantadine is better and is prescription strength zantac. Sorry for your discomfort and pain. Prayers sent ^^^^.
