Need exam: See a physician for a physical exam. May have tonsillitis, strep throat etc. Regarding acid reflux, try over the counter antacids like Omeprazole daily. See you physician.

Hmmm: You have a lot going on. You should be evaluated for tonsillitis for the throat issue.

Acute infection,GERD: Your symptom of acid reflux for 10 years is not causing your symptoms, but it is in your interest to get that treated to prevent esophagitis and other complications.Your sode throat and cough are probably due to an acute viral or bacterial infection, and you should see your doctor to find if you need antibiotics or not.Aand also discuss you weight loss and acid reflux and treatment.
