Throat pain: this is likely from post nasal drip. you probably sleep on the right side and the nose has been draining all niight long.  I would try some sudafed and or flonase and see how it does today.  you can try some alka selser this evening it has a anticholinergic that will help with the post nasal drip tonight.  good luck and feel better.

Need PPI Rx and: H. pylori testing. You must immediagely consult your physician since this is not a normal treatment for gastritis or gastric ulcerations. If symptoms have been present for over a year, why ask it today? You need a GI evaluation and probable endoscopy. Start Nexium now.

Dr. can check throat: New throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or stomach acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat).
