Persistent Sore Throat with Acidity/Burping problem

Dear Sir,

I am suffering from persistent sore throat for last two years. Now I have started getting burp a lot.
I get the burp a lot in the morning before breakfast, and throughout the day as well. My sore throat
some time get better, some time get worse, but never goes away completley. Some time I see a white thing near
throat/tonsil. I suspect it might be related to my Burp/Acidity problem. Please advise

Thanks a lot

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You are presenting a classical case of GERD or Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease.

It is surprising how you could have suffered for 2 whole years with your problem and you are in a way fortunate that you did not consult doctors who would have given you the standard H2 blockers like Zantac that reduce the production of acid but do not cure your disease. I presume that you are aware of the seriousness of the symptoms that you presented in your post and it will be a challenge for me personally to help you to a cure.

The remedies that you will use are:

Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets to be taken immediately after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reduce the number when you feel better.

Arnica 30c in the wet dose which is made by inserting 3 pellets of the remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water which you will shake hard to bubble (succuss) before you sip a teaspoonful 3 times daily for a month and twice daily thereafter.

You will experience relief of your heartburn which you would have experienced for the last 2 years, within about 15 minutes after you take your first dose of Nat Phos after a meal and this improvement will continue in the future.

The Arnica will help to renew the delicate tissues of your esophagus but this will take some time to get back to normal.

You must stay with these 2 remedies and take them faithfully for as long as you feel that they are doing you some good.

No alcohol, cola drinks and preserved meats like sausages, ham and bacon. Also no fatty food and you will not overeat in order to lighten the load in your stomach. You may however eat 4 small meals to keep your stomach happy but not overloaded.

Please post your response on the day after you start this therapy.

Dear Joe,

I have been using the remedies you prescribed for the last one week. I did notice quite improvement in my condition. I am taking 4 pills of Nat Phos 6x three times after meals (tablets are very small and irregular size, I ordered it through Homeopathy Forum and it was delivered by Washington Homeopathy). I am also using Arnica in wet doses twice daily. Please prescribe me something for my sour throat which is still there as described in my previous post. Here is a little history:

I used to get sour throat quite often right from the childhood, and it used to go away with homeopathy medicine prescribed by a Doctor in India(I don't know the name of the remedy). Around 2 years before, I got a severe sour throat, and since I had to go on a long travel overseas next day, I took high dose antibiotic as prescribed instead of homeopathy medicine. My sour throat went away but I noticed a mild persistent sour throat afterward. I have visited 2 ENT specialist since then here in USA, First ENT specialist prescribed me PROTONIX (kind of H2 blocker I think), I took the medicine for 2-3 months, But it didn't help me at all. After I stopped the medicine, I started getting burp and sometime heartburn. Sometime, I think my persistent sour throat is related to high dose of antibiotic which might have killed the friendly bacteria in my throat area. But I do feel that whenever I am ok on acidity side, I feel quite relief on my sour throat, but it never goes away completely. Please advise me some remedy for my sour throat. Thanks a lot for your help. Your prescribed medicine is helping me a lot

Thanks a lot

I believe that you will slowly heal in a few weeks after so many years of manhandling by your doctors who only know about the H2 Blockers like Ptotonix or Alacid or Zantac and about 20 other drugs which are dangerous in use as they cannot cure the patient and can only pretent to help him while opening the door to other more serious problems with the liver and kidneys.

The white deposits in your tonsils are Tonsiloliths which sometimes accumulate in some persons loaded with bacteria and as you know they really STINK. There is very little that can be done to keep them away but you may create history if your Nat Phos and Arnica help to fix that problem.

If you fear that you lack the good bacteria you can always use a Probiotic which you can get OTC and also Yoghurt which will help your stomach and also accelarate your cure. Do not eat large helpings. What you need is small helpings twice daily. This will re-establish the friendly bacteria.

Do not drink icy cold water. In fact do not drink water that is colder than your skin temperature. Use warm water if possible as I have noticed that cold water tends to chill the throat and promotes a sore throat.

Report response often.

Hi Joe,

I just purchase Arnica Montana 30CH and I would like to know do I put 3 tablets in heated spring water and then shake the bottle until the tablets disappeared and bubbles rise to the top? And I really only take 3 tea a day?

do I keep that bottle on the counter and drink from that on a daily basis ?

And Last the Nat Phos do i swallow these small tablets with a drink?

Thank you.

Patrick

Hello, Im from india. Please, someone help me. I have this problem for more than two years. It all started in 2010. Im studying in a school and afternoon i get a sore throat. I thought it will heal soon. But, it didn't. My summer vacation started and I began to have dry throat so annoying. It only mildens when i eat or drink something. Now, the school started i have these sore throat all the time. I underwent a surgery to remove my tonsillits and adenoids. But, it didnt heal. I noticed a bit improvement but its still wose. When Im in school, at morning, i dont have much sore throat but afternoon I have a severe dry and sore throat. I doubt my problem is of two types. Either it is acidity or dust allergy. Pls, someone help. Please ;(

If as you state you feel that your problem is due to acidity you will have to give more details of your problem.

Do you experience any burning in your stomach and reflux of acid to your throat?

Complete the patient's questionnaire in my post above yours.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
No, i don't have that problem. I recently visited a doc and he said it could be acid reflux. Thats why, i doubted. But, I had a pain/burn in my stomach on friday. I never had a burn in my stomach before. Also, I drink tea a lot. Now, i have stopped it.

OK I understand.

I believe that you suffer from GERD.

The therapy I have prescribed to hundreds of patients who presented GERD is copied below and the large majority of patients whom I have treated have been helped while many have been cured.

The remedies used are as follows:

Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.

You can expect relief from your ailment hopefully within a few hours.

Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.

It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.

No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.

If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall when you will experience a stomach ache which in some cases can be very acute.

You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least hald hour daily to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.

Please visit the links below which record the cases of other patients whom I have treated for GERD.

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/25315/

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/209144/

It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which may have been prescribed for this ailment.

Thanks a lot, Mr.Joe. But, is this medications available in India?
 
Pulsar last decade
Why do you not visit the nearest Homeopathic Pharmacy?

Or better still ask your father to do so ASAP.

You may take Nux Vomica 30 in the morning and evening for 7 days and see how that affects.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Dear Dr,

I feel uncomfortable in chest area (with rare, mild pain) and experience frequent burping. ECG is normal. Please let me know remedies.

Endoscopy couldn't find anything. Medication was given for H Pylori infection.

Thanks.
