Sore Throat After Fill...

[TxChelsey 1]

I had a fill on Friday, first time in almost a year. The last time I had a fill it caused acid relux so I went back a week later and he took it out. Intstant relief. This time, I got the same .5cc fill again and I have had a sore throat ever since. I don't have the night time gurgling, it is just constant feeling in the throat. I am thinking this is also a sign of acid reflux and maybe I need an unfill again? No problems eating, but refuse to live with this annoying feeling. Advice is appreciated!!

Have you thought about taking something like Prilosec OTC?

It is a Protein pump inhibitor and will reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. If you're able to eat fine otherwise I suggest trying this for two weeks (ideally 2-3 months). It will help retrain your stomach a bit so it doesn't produce so much acid. If the reflux comes back after you stop, then you may need to find out if you have an ulcer or another issue.

It could also be the food you're eating. Monitor when it occurs and what you ate in the hours prior.

I hope that helps.
