Throat irritation + burping/belching
I have had throat irritation/lump sensation for 9 or so months. It happens almost every day. Severity goes up and down on daily basis. I have tried Acid Lactum 6 and 30- though it brings the severity of the condition but throat sensation does not go away. I have tried Natphos 6x therapy too and it did not help tooENT checked and saw inflammation there and prescribed Prilosec I only took 20mg Prilosec for 21 days and it did not help my symptoms but on contrary increased it a bit. Now I am seeing Naturopath and I have taken all herbal supplements for gallbladder Liver, for indigestion , for stomach infection, parasites etc but nothing works. I was told that I do not hiatal hernia using kinesiology technique.
The symptoms are throat irritation, lumps sensation, sometimes mucous feeling in throat right after meals. I do feel some gas in chest and as soon as I drink water I burp. Burping and belching comes at odd times, even after getting up in the morning though only couple of times. I can eat the same thing and not experience one day but experience it on another day. No wheat allergy too
Please help me. Thank you very much.

I have taken nux 30 and carbo veg 30 for 2 weeks in past and that did not help. After that I tried acid lactum given by a homeopath. It appears I have symptoms of LPR where acid comes up to throat as mentioned by ENT.
The Remedy Finder gave me choice of Lachesis and I am not sure if that would work.
Please help otherwise I have start taking allopathy and I really do not want to do that.

You may see whether kali carb 30 works.

What do you think about Lachesis in my case. This was from Remedy Finder.
kali bichrom 6 is not helping with sore throat. I am not sure if soreness is due to weather change or is it acid reflux. I kind fell soreness vey near to end of tongue area.
I can try Kali carb 30 as you suggested but would that be optimal therapy. I would like someone to pick my case and let me know.
Thank you very much.

Thanks Dr. Kadwa. I will buy it today and let you know in few days.
Do you suspect the role of acid reflux inflamming the throat as told by my ENT?

Pulsatilla should work in case acid reflux as a role here. Nux Vomica, Lyc, Lachesis all help in acidity but only when totality agrees!! The remedy indicated on the basis of totality of symptoms causes overall improvement along with relief in many symptoms.

Update on my condition after taking Pulstilla 200 (twice a day) for 4 days.
I do see some difference like symptom going down to 8 on a scale of 1-10. I see there are some periods of time in evening when i hear rumbling in stomach and minor hot sensation (happened on couple of days only). In evenings I still get some throat issue but severity is less. Sometimes it appears as if the irritation is very near to point where nose and throat meet)
I had been taking some herbal supplement for acidophillus and a gastrocare supplement (has DGL, slippery Elm, calcium and Zinc in it). I take one pill or 2 each day for both. I wanted to ask you if I continue it.
Also would you recommend any other medicine for internal tissue repair for osephagus/throat.
I really thank you for taking up my case and helping me out.

Update on my condition
Throat has less impact of acidity but last couple of days I see more typical heartburn in chest right after dinner (not so much after lunch or breakfast). Today I had to resort to some antacid for my heartburn. I usually do not have heartburn symptoms but I do now. Intensity of heartburn increased in comparison to yesterday. Yesterday it subsided on it own
Stool have become loose and feel like constipated.
Thank you

Please take a single dose of Lycopodium 30 and see how that affects in next few days.
There is no need to take Arnica. Whether you are having acute leg pain or it is a chronic issue?

I will get lyco 30 and take single dose. I don't have chronic leg pain- I got hurt while walking and so thought of taking arnica.

You may take Arnica if it is an acute case. You may also do without arnica if the pain is not much.

I took single dose of pulstilla - it does good to my throat but some heartburn. So I took some doses of lycopodium after that. It suppress the heartburn but my stomach makes rumbling noise in the evening and at night with passing of gas. Usually single tab of Zintac 150 mg does not do good with my throat but couple days along with Lyco it worked quite good. So lyco and pulstilla are still not providing full relief. Should I wait longer. This morning I though I will take lyco but by mistake took carbo veg and that too in 200 potency- I got all symptoms back with that single dose of carbo veg.
One qualified homeopath who had practiced it for more than 20 years and has formal degree in homeopathy suggested that I should take robinia in mother tincture before meals and BC 25 after meals. He also suggested Kali. Bich in 200 and carbo veg on alternate days. What are your thoughts .....
I almost got good relief with your prescription but it did not provide complete relief. What do you suggest now. Thank you

Sounds like this 'qualified homoeopath with a degree' has decided to not practice traditional homoeopathy anymore, but just mix a whole lot of remedies without bothering to look at the whole case. Is he a medical doctor - that sounds like the kind of prescribing they might do - prescribing our medicines like they prescribe theirs, which breaks most of the rules of homoeopathy?
Rule one: Law of Similars - the remedy must match the whole case in chronic diseases, not just one small part of it.
Rule two: Law of the Single Remedy - only one remedy is prescribed at a time (no bizarre combination medicines with numbers and letters in them), and each dose is given time to work then assessed to see what the next step is.
Rule three: Law of the Minimum Dose - only the least amount possible is given to the patient to produce positive change/cure (this means no mechanical prescribing of a medicine over and over).
I suspect if he is breaking these three, he is probably breaking others, which would make him an unreliable source of advice.
Many people are practicing 'homoeopathy' and making money, while curing very few people. This is just the situation in orthodox medicine, and people have come to have low expectations.
