Acid reflux: start by taking famotidine 20 mg OTC meds---twice a a day avoid alcohol/and food 2-3 hours before going to bed.. Add omeprazole 20 mg OTC meds if symptoms persists-----if that does not help follow up with your pvt doctor

Sinusitis: Coughing up sputum and a morning sore throat are typical of sinus inflammation from a viral upper respiratory infection or bacterial infection. Please see your primary care doctor to see if an antibiotic should help.
