Burning throat?

for about week now i have noticed that some days i get a really bad burning sensation in my throat. at first i thought it might have been a cold but now it has come and gone depending of the day so it cant be a cold. it just feels like my neck is on fire. and for some reason i have started burping a lot as well. it doesnt hurt at the back of my mouth but only the neck part. it is really annoying. and i.e. drinking orange juice hurts really bad.( dont know if it matters but i am 7 months pregnant )
Answer:
Its acid reflux you fool, it occurs all the time especially when your pregnant. that burning is your stomach acid coming up into your throat. Dont drink Orange juice it will only make it worse b/c its a very acidic drink. when you feel the burning just take a few teaspoons of apple cider vineger.it will neutralize the acid and you will feel relief immediatly.
could be acid reflux or a heartburn im not sure but see your doctor
Sounds to me like acid reflux-- common when baby starts pushing on the tummy. I think you can take Tums (which has calcium in it) to help even while pregnant -- but I would go to the pharmacist and ask for sure. Stop drinking orange juice and other acidy things -- this just makes it worse. There are other ways to get vitamin C that don't have as high of an acid content. If you just gotta have the OJ -- find a brand that says "low acid" on it.And call your OB first thing Monday. Sometimes this is the first indicator of other problems so you can't be too careful.
