(Though it can also be due to abnormally large amounts of reflux, I had no heartburn symptoms so he ruled that out.) The
larynx gets inflamed, and it can feel like you have a
lump or excess mucuous in the throat, making you feel the need to cough, clear your throat, or swallow constantly. Very often, as in my case, it is notably worse after eating.
He prescribed me Prilosec (omerprazole) to take twice daily before eating.
