Chronic acidity and bloating
From yesterday morning, I have had a sore throat which feels like my throat is burnt because of acidity. Hardly a month ago i visited an ENT doctor for cough which was treated after medication.
Two days ago, i consumed some acidic food along with a cold drink for dinner. And since a few days, there has been repair construction of our building which has led to dusty air around us. I guess a combination of these has caused me a sore throat.
But i have had this chronic acidity and bloating for years now. Even one meal of acidic food causes me severe acidity. How to cure this acidity so that i can continue with my food habits?
I have done betadine gargle and am taking antacid. So please suggest a solution for my chronic acidity. (Check the attachment, i have uploaded a picture of sore throat). Thank you!
