acid reflux inhaled

I too inhaled acid reflux last night.  Thought I was gonna die!!  Coughed and threw up about three times.  Drank about half a bottle of Mylanta and sipped water thru the night.  Today I have wheezing on the left side of my lungs and wonder if I am in serious trouble......my throat and upper airway feel as though scrubbed with steel wool.   Would Mucinex help me dislodge the "stuff" in my lungs or just wait it out.  Thanks

Hi,
I would suggest you to get yourself examined by a physician as acid reflux if severe can damage the airways.You can wait for a couple of days if there is no relief please consult a physician.

Hi,
If you are having acid reflux problems you should try antacids or some OTC preparations for the reflux. Also try to keep the head end of your bed elevated at night which will help. And take your meals at least 2 - 3 hrs before you sleep. A walk after your meals is also advisable. The feeling will go away on its own. You dont have to do anythig or take any medications for it. Just drink plenty of water, avoid spicy or fried foods. Goodluck.
