Hi and thanks for using the forum.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.  I think you should start with a gastroenterologist for your GERD.  Your sore throat could be related to the GERD (it can cause irritation to your esophogus).  Has your UTI cleared up and come back or has it persisted over the few months?  You probably need to see a urologist as well- recurring or persistent UTI's can cause damage to the urethra and possibly your kidneys.  There are some things you can do to try to prevent UTI's- don't hold your urine- void when you feel the urge, always wipe from front to back, urinate after sex, avoid douching, and drink cranberry juice.   As far as the runny nose and cough (and watery eyes)- they sound like cold symptoms.  I hope this helps and that you start to feel better soon.  Good luck.

Bridget
