Symptom #4: Sore Throat
A sore throat can occur especially when the stomach contents that has a high content of stomach acids move up the esophagus. The acid from the stomach contents injures the throat and possibly the adenoids as well, and results in a croaky voice. It may not subside until there is enough saliva production that can help neutralize the acidity.
In chronic and severe cases, the acids that comes up through the esophagus into the oral cavity can result in permanent damage of the throat and vocal cords. This results in a permanent voice change, soreness in the throat, bitter taste in the mouth, burns the tongue, and even damage the enamel of the teeth. The pain in your throat may worsen with swallowing.
