Can pepcid (famotidine) ac cause sore throat and ear ache. i'm not sure if it's the medicine or the reflux? should i consult my doctor? any info would be helpful.

It should not: Ipepcid AC is not known to cause this kind of side effect .reflux can . My advise is to see your doctor and have proper evaluation and you might need a stronger medication than OTC medicine
