WHAT IS REFLUX LARYNGITIS?

Reflux Laryngitis is a voice disorder that results from irritation and swelling of the vocal folds due to the backflow of stomach fluid into the throat.
This backflow is called Larynhogharyneal Reflux (Acid that reaches the level of the throat).
Stomach fluids contain acids and enzymes that help digest food in the stomach, but cause problems elsewhere in the food pipe.
(esophagus, throat, and voice box). Reflux disease can be acid or non-acidic.
For Acidic Reflux, it is broken down into GERD and LPR.
Classic GERD symptoms include heartburn.
LPR symptoms are more likely throat clearing, a lump in the throat sensation, and Hoarseness.
