Burning sensation in the throat
A burning sensation in the throat often results from acid reflux, where stomach acid irritates the oesophageal and throat lining. It can also be caused by infections, allergies, or post-nasal drip. The sensation is typically worse after meals, when lying down, or in the morning after overnight acid exposure.
