A member asked:

Can acid reflux while sleeping cause sore throat and ear ache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reflux: A sore throat can be the result of acid reflux. An earache form eustachian tube dysfunction (the tube from the ear to nose) as a result of reflux is more common in children. Is should also be understood that more commonly sore throats and/or earaches are not related to reflux at all.
