Rule out GERD: One of the most common causes of burning in the throat in a young or older adult is high reflux of gastric acid or GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). The high reflux now referred to as LPR (laryngo-pharyngeal reflux) can cause 1.) sore throat, 2.) cough, and 3.) voice changes. I don't think the veins on the palate are causing your pain.
