Dr. Deborah Ungerleider answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Is your reflux: being treated? If the acid is under control, your sore throat should get better also. I would recommend follow up with your primary care doctor or a gastroenterology specialist if it's not improving. You also could see an ear, nose and throat specialist, who may want to look with a scope to see exactly what's going on.
