I've had stomach aches, acidity, nausea for many years. I took OTC antiaciRAB.
Later I started feeling that fooRAB were getting stuck in my throat.
But now it progressed to what I believe is LPR. I have post nasal drip, mucus in throat, clearing throat, burning in throat, choking on mucus, mucus/acid stuck in esophagus; difficulty swallowing saliva, constantly needing to drink water or eat something in order to swallow, otherwise saliva feels like it gets stuck in throat. The most bothersome for me is the fact that I have trouble swallowing saliva.
(I had a cold with lots of mucus, but then it turned inward and never stopped. But it was probably coincidental.)

I am trying to find something that would help short-term. Something to make swallowing saliva easier and to get rid of mucus/acid. I need to get lots of dental work done, and having to deal with swallowing problems while at the dentist's is a nightmare! What can I do to help at least short term? Drink lots of baking soda? Take lots of pepto? Nexium? What to do? Thanks.
 
hi i have LPR as well as funny stomach stuff as well.........
heres some ideas that may help
take a decogestant/antihistmine
drink lots of water
eat spoonfuls of honey and let it slide down your throat
take glaviscon before bed
get onto a PPI like prevacid, losec etc
try aloevera juice
try licorice root from health food shops
GO SEE A ENT AND A GASTRO SPECILIST FOR TESTING

ness oh and try not to stress which is hard I know
 
Thanks for your reply! Most of those solutions make things even worse for me.
antihistamines dry out my nasal passages and make swallowing feel like it hits up into nose.
I already drink water non-stop, because I can't swallow saliva without it.
honey and PPIs cause throat spasms.
aloe vera juice and other liquiRAB that are thick or acidic, etc make swallowing saliva even worse.
licorice caused vomiting.

So it's very hard to find a solution.
