I've tried 800mg ibuprofen without relief and am considering cortisone medication. What kind of doctor should I see for this issue, and what other treatments might help alleviate my pain?

My ex-boyfriend told me his brother makes $3000 per week as a cab driver in the USA, and I'm not sure whether to believe this or not. I suspect they might be involved in drug dealing due to my ex's connections with bikie friends and his security job. Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track?

I have been experiencing irritation in my esophagus, particularly in the upper pharynx region, which has worsened over the past two weeks. I suspect it might be related to swallowing a Zyrtec tablet without water and lying down, as this was the first time I noticed the sensation. I have a history of mild reflux and sore throats, but no traditional GERD symptoms. I eat a low-acid diet and have stopped drinking coffee. I am concerned about potential irritation from the pill or worsening of my symptoms. What could be causing this irritation, and what steps can I take to alleviate it?
