I have burning sensation in chest with throat irritation and no fever. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on your history and symptoms you may be having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If the acid goes up to the throat area, it might cause thick mucus. In this case, this is classified as laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR). You would need to take a different medication. I recommend you take Omeprazole 40 mg one tablet 30 minutes before breakfast for two to three weeks. I would also recommend you avoid oily, fatty, spicy, and dairy food. Avoid alcoholic, carbonated, and caffeinated drinks. Avoid smoking and avoid lying down within one hour after eating.

I hope this helps.

Yes, the slight chest pressure may still be related to GERD.

Even if you are not having breakfast that is fine. What we want is for you to take the medication on an empty stomach that is why we usually advise patients to take it 30 minutes before breakfast. If you do not eat breakfast, that is fine. You may take it nonetheless.

Your sneezing and runny nose may be of a different cause. One possible cause of it would be allergic rhinitis. In this case, Cetirizine 10 mg one tablet at bedtime may be taken as needed.
