Acid reflux,chest congestion,sore throat
I had acidity after eating some spicy and oily food and after that it started feeling like I have something stuck in my throat and chest pains, I checked online and symptoms matched with Acid Reflux or Gerd. I consulted a family doctor(due to unavailability of doctors in Covid-19 situation), he suggested me antibiotics(Augmentin-625) and vapour inhalation. But there was no relief, the congestion or something stuck in my throat feeling got suppressed but I developed cough and sore throat( I have history of sore throat and tonsils, I get sore throat just by having slightly cold stuff or spicy or tangy stuff) so I thought that congestion must be because of cough in my chest. All this has gotten a little better but still sometimes a get chest pains and it keeps moving everywhere in my chest to abdomen, I also have this ticklish feeling in my chest or food pipe and prickly feeling at the end of my tongue. It's been almost a month, kindly help as I'm afraid to visit clinics due to Covid-19.

Your history suggests GERD resulting in pharyngitis. A picture of your throat would have been of help. Nevertheless spicy oily food is a big no.
Next Steps
Tab PAN 40 mg once before breakfast for a week, antacid syrup after food should help with chest burn.
Health Tips
Take plenty of fluids, avoid long intervals remaining empty stomach, gargle with salt water for throat discomfort.
