Antacids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and other medications may help relieve acid reflux. Some of these medications are available over the counter, but others may require a prescription. You can try sipping small amounts of water if your throat burns from acid reflux. If you have frequent burning throat pain from acid reflux, it’s best to talk with a doctor about treatment. Stomach acid that regurgitates into your throat can cause other health issues.
