What you describe are frequently reported symptoms of extra-oesophageal reflux.
H-Pylori is a common cause for excess acid production. Have you actually been tested for H-Pylori? There are two or three simple tests for it and I think it irresponsible if your doctor just prescribes the two or three different anti-biotics to eradicate possible H-Pylori if not.
However, that probably isn't the main cause of your problem. Reflux is a mechanical action of stomach contents entering the oesophagus via a weak lower oesophageal sphincter and travelling full column to breach the upper oesophageal sphincter and hence aspirate into the respiratory system whence it can cause sore throats and hoarseness amongst a host of other symptoms.
Acid suppressant medication will make the reflux less harmful but probably won't reduce the reflux itself. For that you may need to make lifestyle changes.
Read the Reflux section of the free www DownWithAcid org uk book for ways to do this.
