The painful, burning sensation is caused by rising stomach acid. It moves from your stomach, where the lining is resistant to its corrosive effects, up into your esophagus, the lining of which is not similarly protected. It can climb all the way from the bottom of the esophagus all the way up into the throat.
If there is a burning in your chest as if stomach acid is coming up, then it is more than likely acid reflux. If your throat is just burning, this could be indicative of strep throat or mononeucleosis. It's really hard to say without knowing ALL of your symptoms. If you are a smoker, it could be throat cancer or just irritation from the toxic chemicals. Jessica W Â· 8 years ago.
