Help please i woke up with incredibly hot liquid in the back of my throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux: That hot liquid is probably reflux, which is a strong acid. If you don't get it all the time, try some antacids like TUMS, Mylanta or Maalox, which neutralize the acid. If you get it all the time you might consider something longer acting like Zantac (ranitidine) or Prilosec,
