Dr. John McMahan answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

REFLUX: You should ask your PCP for a referral to a GI specialist. Reflux can be worse during and after pregnancy. The GI doc will plan with you an ongoing protocol to manage your reflux and make sure it doesn't progress to something more serious.
