A member asked:
20 yr old- recently diagnosed with lpr (symptoms for 3 years.) ppi twice daily had no effect on symptoms. what is the next step?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LPR versus PND: Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) often responds to dietary modification, elevation head of bed, PPI twice daily for over 6-8 weeks. If symptoms persist, consider other etiologies: Sinus drainage, cysts/masses in pharynx, external thyroid compression, Zenker's diverticulum, neurological, infectious. Further evaluation such as transnasal esophagoscopy, EGD and/or barium swallow may be necessary.
