What should i do about this sour feeling in my throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: I believe the most common cause of a sour taste is the mouth is gastro-esophageal reflux (gerd). It is also possible that infectious disease may be responsible. Over the counter ant-acids such as tums, (calcium carbonate) maalox, or Prilosec may be of benefit. I would suggest a GI specialist for prompt diagnosis. Gerd can eventually lead to esophagitis, which in turn can rarely lead to cancer of the esophagus.
