Allergy vs reflux: Could be allergies or reflux. Take an antihistamine (benadryl, claritin, zyrtec, allegra) if you have allergies (runny nose, itchy eyes, cough), and an antacid like zantac (ranitidine) or Pepcid before bed if you have any heartburn symptoms (bad taste, burning chest pain, cough).

Sore throat: Although, the causes of your sore throat are multiple, two most frequent ones i'd like to mention - post nasal drip and acid reflux. If you have any of those, this may explain your sore throat.
