Hello there, a problem shared is a problem halved, so thanks to everyone for sharing, and reminding us all we are not alone.  I developed a puffy throat, just where the double chin is.  I have had this on and off since December 2020, but now have it constantly.  Shortly aftewards i developed a sore throat with acid reflux.  I felt the acid burn, so i know i have that.  My glands are also up and swallowing is hard.  The heartburn has been undercontrol for 4 weeks, but my throat is still sore and under my chin is puffy and numb.  I have to sleep sitting up or my throat is worse the next day.  I am very stressed and tired from it all.  It i take a strong Anti inflammitory, then it improves for a few days and comes back again.  If it was only reflux i would have thought my throat would be better by now.  Does reflux cause a puffy throat??  Nearly finished my course of PPI (Esomprazole), and i will see if i can try some anti biotics.  Can you get a throat infection from reflux?   Thank you so much for reading this.  Please come back and let us know how you all get on, and what you tried.  My heart goes out to you all. xxx

Wow I have been trying to someone with the same problem As me for months!! I've felt unwell since end of January and have constantly had a puffy chin making it look like i have a massive double chin, I also had throat ache, pain when swallowing and feels like I have a lump in my throat. I've been on omeprazole for 2 months now and still no relief. The throat pain has stopped but still have the puffy chin and lump in my throat. My anxiety has been through the roof with it and I'm wondering if that's what's making my symptoms worse. How are u getting on I'm thinking of trying antibiotics aswell.
