A member asked:

My almost 6 year old is complaining of burning in her throat. something coming up. she had reflux as an infant. could this be reflux and shat can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably is reflux.: Your doctor can prescribe some liquid or rapidly dissolving Prevacid (lansoprazole) which may help. An ENT doctor can also look and confirm that the burning is from acid reflux, but there are medicines that can help.

Sometimes I wake up and the back of my throat starts burning. I do get acid reflux when mixing beer and nicotine lozenges, but this is totally different. I bit a pill once, not sure what it was, and that did start the burn. What could it be?
