LERD possible: Exposure of the vocal cords to stomach acid & pepsin will 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. Agree, further evaluation is in order.

See an ENT.: An ENT doctor (otolaryngologist) can examine your throat and help determine if allergy, reflux, and/or other issue underlies your symptoms.
