Reflux laryngitis

Reflux laryngitis is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the throat, irritating the larynx (voice box). This can lead to symptoms such as a hoarse voice, a persistent cough, throat clearing, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. It often occurs alongside gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid reaches the esophagus. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and medications to reduce acid production. By managing these factors, many people find relief and improve their throat health.
