I have a really bad sore throat and discomfort swallowing. runny nose and flem in my throat. is this due to the cold/flu i currently have or my gerd?

Cold: I am sorry that you're suffering with this. From the sounds of your symptoms I believe this to be an upper respiratory infection commonly called a cold. You should drink lots of fluid get some rest and take it over-the-counter cold medications as needed. It may be somewhat due to the Gerd.
