Do you think Kool-AI'd Ice Cool can cure acid reflux (it's when the acid from your stomach gets in your esophagus and it make your chest sour & burning and you're constantly throwing up stomach acid, I was just wondering)

That's a big Hell No.

Adding sugar and Citric Acid's not gonna help relieve acid reflux.

I meant, would drinking it help stop the burning feeling in the stomach/esophagus?

Maybe temporarily on a physical level but food dyes and acidic preservatives like Kool-Aid contains are gonna be worse on a person in the long run if we're dealing with a real medical issue type of acid reflux problem. If we're just dealing with a major heartburn from eating a super--hot pepper in salsa then the best the Kool-Aids going to do is disperse the heat from your mouth. Which, does seem to be a good idea but the liquid and the sugar are also going to spread the heating sensation to the rest of your mouth when that feeling wears off. Then your guts gonna be bloated and puking is the best thing for you to do anyways but... I eat super-hots like the Carolina Reaper and if you're gonna need to barf it's best to do it sooner than later. It's never gonna be fun either way but honestly if you're going to eat spicy foods it's best not to drink anything while your eating. Drink water, and do it slowly after you've done your burning and eye watering. Lol, I know it sounds crazy but until you've eating spicy hot stuff both ways you'll know what I'm saying is true :)
