Reflux disease does cause irritation in throat and a recurrent throat infections.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies like bryonia, nux vomica etc. Which help in clearing the throat infection and also to see that reflux is reduced thereby preventing recurrence.

Dr. Thank you for your reply to my post. I appreciate your recommendations for a homeopathic remedy and I will certainly investigate the ones you've mentioned. I do not like taking pharmacuetical drugs but I will finish taking the prevacid my doctor has prescribed. I am still skeptical about gerd or acid reflux being the cause of my sore throat. Mainly as I mentioned in my original post due to having it on a "consistant basis" for 2 months now, also I have in the back of my throat (in my left tonsil area) about 3 blisters is what i'd call them. From what i've read on gerd/reflux a morning sore throat is not uncommon, but 2 months?! And i've never seen anything that mentions blisters or tonsilitis. I could see if I had a scratchy throat or something like that, but I don't ever even taste any acid in my mouth. In addition to that, every since this started, I get canker sores every now and then generally in the same spot. On a positive note though other than this annoyance I feel fantastic!

John, I feel your pain. Literally. I have been dealing with a terrible sore throat since august. Mine is bad from the time I wake up (when i'm able to get sleep). I also don't have heartburn, don't overeat, and am fit and healthy. My ent found a bacterial infection of my lingual tonsil and put my on augmentin. My family doctor had told me before that if the ent told me it was due to acid reflux, it meant he didn't know what it was! He said acid reflux is a "garbage can" diagnosis. I was relieved he found something. It got marginally better on the antibiotic, but now I am beginning to think I should reach into the garbage can! Now that the infection is cleared up, I still have throat pain and I am recognizing some heartburn symptoms. I am beginning nexium. My point is.....Perhaps you have an infection caused by acid and you can't cure one without the other. All of the acid meds in the world won't clear up an infection caused by sores in the throat. Good luck. I know how it feels to be sick and tired of having a sore throat. I was hoping i'd be singing carols this xmas, but i'll keep my fingers crossed.

If you guys question an acid reflux diagnosis.. The best test you can have is an upper gi. It's like an x-ray but shows the movement of your stomach. They will get you to swallow some liquids and it will show on the x-ray whether or not the liquid comes back up into your esophagus. Mine was obvious.. The liquid came right back up.. But if the test comes back with nothing then it would at least tell you that it's definitely not reflux.

I don't think mine is reflux as much as it may just be sstomach acid. I've been told by people with reflux that you know if you have it. Would heartburn eventually cause the same problem with the throat eventually?

Acid reflux is stomach acid that comes up into the esophagus....I.E. Heartburn

I think I have a similar condition to yourself:i had a persistent sore throat for a year, but no other symptons, saw doctors(s) about 5 times, had several blood tests (no evidence of infection), finally referred to a ent consultant who did an endoscopy, which showed a redness around the larynx(voice box), he prescribed omeprazole (stomach acid inhibitor), nothing happened for a month, then I had two months with virtually no symptons (marvellous), then about 5 weeks ago it started to gradually return and now it is as bad as it was last.
