Dull epigastric pain, sore throat, hoarseness should be examined in which department?

Ask
I say hello to the doctor. I have symptoms of dull pain in the epigastrium, sore throat, choking, sometimes hoarseness. I had a throat endoscopy at the ENT clinic, the doctor said I had a sore throat due to gastroesophageal reflux and gave me medicine for 5 days. I took all the medicine but didn't feel better and sometimes had more stuffy nose symptoms (sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left). So the doctor asked me if I should treat the ear, nose and throat department first or treat the gastroesophageal reflux first. I am very worried and confused. Please advise me doctor. Thank you doctor.
