I've been struggling with a sore/swollen throat for the past two months. This is a new gerd symptom for me after having it for two plus years. I am on a new ppi which seems to be helping the reflux but my throat is still irritating me. I wake up with a dry feeling in my throat. By the end of the day, it feels tired and swollen. Anyone find relief? How long of being on a ppi does it take for a sore throat to ease?

For me it took at least a month of being on PPi's before I was able to be satisfied with my medications. However, as soon as I slipped up my symptoms would return quickly. I did find relief though in a matter of days after starting PPI's.

emsmith,

I drink aloe vera and manuka honey (teaspoon with warm water as tea), they both are soothing to my throat.

Hi,

I had similar problems. I suggest getting off the PPIs immediately. If you are overweight and if you don't have a good diet, I suggest change your lifestyle immediately. Please see my GERD diary to get some ideas - eating healthy helped me immensely.

I wish you all the best.
