Throat Burning Feeling...



Recommended Posts

Sometimes my throat feel like is burning and I don't even have a sore throat. Sometimes it happens if I eat something or maybe taking my medicine, but when I drink Water it makes it a little better. Has anyone ever had that before? Hopefully, someone can help me out.

Could be acid reflux? When I get heartburn it feels like a sore throat slightly. Just a thought.

Most surgeons do prescribe a ppi (proton pump inhibitor) aka. Prilosec, Prevacid, nexium, or protonix for all sleeve patients. You should inquire with them- if you can drink a little milk that would help to relieve some acid immediately.

I think so. It's the Calcium that helps. You could even buy liquid Maalox at any drug store

Thanks for the help. I think I'll get that at the store before I leave to Washington state to visit my dad. Also, I decide to do some searching for home natural remedies for acid reflux. I found one and they one of them mention apple cider vinger (1 tsp. and 1/2 cup of water) and have 3 tsp. of honey for throughout the day. It says that the honey helps contains natural compound that can heal all types of tissue. I might give that a try and see if that helps.

I suggest you speak to your surgeon or primary care physician. Acid reflux is common with VSG patients and sometimes it can be silent. A poster here said she neglected to take her meds and it lead to pre-Barretts disease, which is very serious. Best wishes.

You probably should not add Vinegar this early on. My Doc said no acids. I had to wait until around 4 months until I could take vinegar salad dressings even... imagine pouring vinegar into an open wound!

My stomach is fully heal which only took three months. I tried it first just a little to see if it will hurt my stomach, but it didn't and I think it helped.
