For the last 4 to 6 months my throat has been burning on the right side.MY throat is dry but I feel there is so mucus(clear) that it gags me.I try to cough it up but that doesn't work very well.Medicine for that doesn't work either....Usually it starts gagging me and then I throw it up or get the dry heaves....the burning is constant with no let up.......I can't get much sleep because it keeps waking me up.......I'm 54 years old and sad to say that I have smoked for almost 38 yrs.......I am going to go back to my doctor soon cause I'm getting worried....HELP !

Have you tried Mucinex to help thin the mucous?
Have you tried irrigating sinuses using a saline solution. This usually loosens junk and allows it to drain out.
Have you tried an anahistimine? Zyrtec is a good one.
Have you tried Hall's cough drops to moisten and soothe the throat?

I've done the irrigating and the cough drops.I'm taking Mucinex now and cough drops too.I'll give it a few days.And I have tried an antihistamine......The burning makes it hard to go to sleep....and the gagging wakes me up,I'm so exhausted....Mucinex is my last resort.....Thanks so much...

Bar,
I had this problem too. I had it so bad I ended up going in for a very expensive out patient endoscopy. They didn't find anything. You know what it was? My cigarettes were old. Try to find a different brand or make sure they are kept in the freezer, try to cut back too if you can. None of the antacid meds worked on me. I had trouble sleeping also, it seemed like it was the worst when laying down.
I've been taking a silkworm enzyme for the mucus, I get a lot of sinus mucus and it's gone when taking this nutrient. It's for inflammation, excess mucus, and sinus problems. I'm taking 18,thousand IU's a day in the morning on an empty stomach (that's two capsules). The brand name is serrapeptase and I order it from puritans pride.
I didn't throw out those cigs that were old, what I did was buy fresh, kept them in the freezer, put the old ones in the freezer also, and marked those packs, after the symptoms got better I would have an old one once in a while.
If you feel bloated after eating try drinking a cup of water 20min.s before your meal and have some yogurt with your meals too, it helps digestion. Hope you find some relief, the last time I ended up with a problem batch of cigs it felt like chest pains going from my up my chest into my throat, I got some different cigs right away and took some Ibuprofen and the problem eventually went away again after two days.
Hard to believe it's just that isn't it? Well, it was in my case. And since this has happened to me I've heard of other that it happened to also. Nothing the doctors did helped me, hope you find out what works for you, Good luck.

I've began taking prilosec and it is working.Last night I slept like a baby.I have a doc app. because I wonder if the is any damage from the burning.At first I didn't think it was reflux cause I didn't have heartburn and I didn't associate the phlegm with reflux.The only burning was on the right side of my throat.My chest didn't burn and my stomach didn't hurt...but after you said reflux I remembered when chewing gum sometimes the phlegm would come up and it would destroy my gum.....So then I realized it was acid...thanks again
