Accepted Answer

: These sour eructions are one of the symptoms of GERD when acidic juices travel up the esophagus into the back of your throat. Cut out caffeine, alcohol, nicotine,aspirin, anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen, spicy&amp;oily foods and take a medication like famotidine or omeprazole for a week or so. If not improved, consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate testing(gastroscopy, h pylori

Question 3

a raised dark red line behind my uvula in throat for last 3 weeks. thick smelly saliva in throat for 4 months. taking allegra (fexofenadine). what could  the line be?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: A bad smell could be from a sinus infection.  With the chronic allergies, you are a set up for that.  I do not know what the dark red line would be, but you should consider seeing your doctor to be examined for a sinus infection.  They can have a look and tell you more about the red line, too.

Question 4

i have this one dark vein in back of throat. also it looks like i have red/white craters on my tonsils, and also i see excessive saliva, and sometimes it feels like i have food stuck in throat but when i swallow it wont go away ?

Accepted Answer

Otolaryngologist: Have a thorough examination by an Otolaryngologist. The specks are probably tonsillar stones which are old food and other debris. They are usually insignificant. Anxiety can cause a sensation of a lump in the throat. I doubt that the vein is pathological. For peace of mind an examination by a throat specialist will be helpful.

Question 5

why are my cheeks and around my mouth darker then my face ?

Accepted Answer

See derm: You probably have acanthosis nigricans. See your dermatologist for the exact answer.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I am not sure where the patches are - in the mouth or on the skin? Either, or - they need to be looked at first until treatment can be initiated.

Dark red sore: You did not mention the duration of the lesion or if there was any trauma associated with the lesion etc. You should visit your dentist for an evaluation and anticipate the possibility of being referred to a pathologist.

Accepted Answer

Skin lesion: Without seeing it, it is impossible to think of anything in particular.

Question 9

iam female of 22 years.my skin around my mouth is dark in colour. please suggest me a ointment or medicene. help me?

Accepted Answer

Diet?: It has been suggested that changes around the skin of the mouth is related to diet. If your diet is poor you may want to change it to a more healthy beneficial diet.  You can put creams or ointments but it doesn't change an underlying problem. Something to consider.  Hope this is helpful.
