A member asked:
Pain in right side of throat when swallowing - i have gerd due to hiatal hernia leading to chronic pharyngitis (although have never felt sore throat)?

Pharyngitis: GERD can cause throat irritation from acid reflux. You should have your throat checked out by a doctor to make sure you don't have an infection.

Partial Rx GERD: I suspect the discomfort is related to your partially treated GERD. You are already taking Nexium (esomeprazole) and using Nasonex. Other non-drug treatments include not smoking, avoiding trigger foods, avoiding large meals, not lying down for 2 hours after eating, elevating head of bed, losing weight, avoiding tight belts, and chewing gum. If you have tried all these, review with doc alternate drug treatment

Three months ago I had an upper endoscopy positive for gastritis, reflux, and a hiatal hernia. Recently I've had sharp neck pain (from the clavicle to the jaw) during and after (an hour after) eating. Does this sound like GERD? Inflammation perhaps?
