A member asked:
Seemed to have bacteria under my tonsils. ( maybe from acid reflux) is there anything that can't help get rid of it ( without me vomiting) ?

Gargle: You assume a lot in one question. First off, i dont recommend you induce vomiting for any reason. Second- acid reflux can be controlled with antacids and anti acid medications like ranitidine and omeprazole. Reflux laryngitis is inflammation (irritation) of the throat from GERD. Gargle with salt water to soothe the discomfort and "clean" the back of the mouth if you are concerned. give it time too
