Hey, I have to take meds for GERD, over the counter for now, but it helps...but try a humidifier in your house and bedroom...it works...I would wake up at 4am, dry throat and nose, and had to run water up there...and then at 7am I'd still be dry...and then blow out crazy infected sinuses...yellow and green if really infected...
I got a hot mist humidifier a month ago....in my apt. they crank the heat, I have no control...and it dries everything out...but this thing, by Vicks, has helped...you can get hot or cold mist humidifiers for 30-50 bucks...at a drugstore...try it and see how you feel...
I am on Enbrel and catch loads of infections from my teenage students with autism...crazy, I love it though...hang in there!
Peace
