Hi all. Can acid Reflux cause the throat to feel scratchy and the voice to go hoarse?

We don't have insurance for 90 days. How long will this last? Anything I can do at home?

Yes it can. Go over to the Acid Reflux board. Try doing a search for LPR. That is one of the symptoms for that type of reflux.
Until you go see a doctor, you could consider trying an OTC medicine. There are some for reflux such as Prilosec or Zantac.
Is there a reason you think it is reflux related? It is scary to think of treating yourself for something that isn't really what you have.
Other things to try: lose some weight if you are overweight (easier said than done though), don't eat 3-4 hours before going to bed, prop up the head of your bed about 6 inches (2 bricks in height) so that gravity can help, make sure your waistbands aren't too tight, avoid foods that are fatty, greasy, spicy, contain tomato or tomato products, have citrus, have caffeine, chocolate, coffee, tea, no smoking. Try not to bend over too much.
