Can someone tell me what is the symptoms for acid reflux ?

Q.Can someone tell me what is the symptoms for acid reflux ? My sister is having a constant pain in her ears and her throat is swollen she sometimes burst into a dry cough . Her doctor said it is acid reflux he put her on antibiotics , she took it for two weeks she has seen very little results .

A.The symptoms of acid reflux are primarily heartburn, regurgitation, and nausea The main symptoms are persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest, hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. You may feel like you have food stuck in your throat or like you are choking or your throat is tight. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath. I've never heard of pain in the ears being a symptom of acid reflux. I've had it for a long time. It is more under control now. I used to have a pain in my throat, but it mainly hurt when I swallowed, like I had a goose egg there, but the pain actually comes from lower than it feels. With the pain in the ears, I'm not sure. However, it DOES TAKE TIME, so hopefully she will stay with it. It takes awhile to help the scar in the esophagus. Acid reflux is also called gastroesophageal reflux or GERD,,,there may not always be symptoms and it is not always possible to confirm physiologic reflux. the most common symptom however will be heartburn that may be relieved by antacids or sitting upright. It is worsened by vigorous exercise, bending, or lying down. reflux tends to be chronic. long term reflux may show signs of bleeding, choking and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing)
