Burning throat at night/morning

My main symptom of acid reflux is a burning feeling on the tongue and mouth. So, yes, it could be a sign of acid reflux. I also don't have coughing/regurgitation/nausea. Once in a blue moon I have heartburn, but generally not. An ENT can look further down your throat and see if he sees a sign of reflux, but it's not always a reliable indicator.
I suggest you assume it's acid reflux and do appropriate diet/lifestyle changes and see if that helps. If not, you should go to a gastroenterologist, or even the GP can recommend an antacid such as pepcid and you can try a low dose first and see if it helps. Even if you resolve the problem with changes/medication, assume it takes time for the burning feeling to heal.

Try Gaviscon and/or Mylanta. The Mylanta in Australia only comes in chewable tablet form. I find a 20ml of Gaviscon and then chew one tablet and that works.
My problem is from Acid Reflux as a side effect from a POEM Procedure to try and fix a condition called Achalasia. Unfortunately the procedure did not work for me but left an uncomfortable Acid Reflux to contend with. Sincerely hope this helps you. The medications are quite harmless. Take care.

I had something called Burning Mouth Syndrome sometime ago. The organization, AAOM, might be able to help you.
