Accepted Answer

Already Answered: Your question was already answered. There is no evidence that acid reflux can cause cancer of the throat or of the Larynx.

Question 4

feeling food particles in my larynx. since 2 day feel somthng stuk
2month neck ultrasound & laryngral scope normal.hav  acid reflux.should i worry?

Accepted Answer

If progressive...: Exposure of the vocal cords to stomach acid &amp; pepsin may result in inflammation of the vocal cords (as is also often seen with acid regurgitation). Acute laryngitis may result, but watch out for chronic hoarseness, throat clearing, airway spasms, bronchitis, an asthma-type presentation, and even a higher risk of throat cancer. Impedance ph testing with a symptom diary can best characterize LPR.
