burning throat
Acid reflux sensation
A burning throat is an uncomfortable sensation of heat or rawness in the throat, typically caused by acid reflux, infection, or irritation from smoke, chemicals, or dry air.
The phrase describes the symptom rather than its cause: I woke up with a burning throat after sleeping with the heat on.
Heartburn commonly produces a burning throat when stomach acid rises into the esophagus.
