Many things: You are probably on a proton pump inhibitor. It is very important that you do not miss any doses since this drug is keeping your stomach acid level in check. The less acid into your throat the better. It would also be a good idea to not eat very spiciy or "hot" foods in that they may irritate the area as well.
