Four days before Christmas I was at a resort and drank a lot of caffeinated drinks (mostly tea but a Coke as well) in about an 8 hour period. To add to it I also had a huge dinner. I burped once and I felt acid in the back of my throat. Since that moment I have had a bad sore throat with the pain centered around my right tonsil. When I swallow I also feel a twinge in my right ear. Even though I don't feel any bloating or heartburn I have a slight burning in my throat. I thought that I might have burned the back of my throat when I burped but there doesn't seem to be any sign of it (ie. sores). I've had a history of reflux an heartburn in the past but this is the first time that I've had a severe sore throat. I've been taking Gaviscon and Zantac at alternating times and been gargling with salt and water but there has been little if any change. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi The symptoms you have mentioned could be either due to sore throat or acid reflux. If it is due to acid reflux medications like prilosec would be provide relief. If it is due to sore throat tylenol and salt water gargling would help.
