Need an ENT exam: To know how to treat, one needs to know the cause of your problem. This can only be determined by a direct examination by an ENT doctor. The most common finding in this scenarion is reflux, or gerd. Prilosec otc, anti-acids, elevating upper body at night, and low acid diet all help.
