What is the difference between acid reflux and laryngopharyngeal reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux: GERD is the basis of both. LPR has symptoms of hoarseness, occasionally pain, voice change, possible laryngospasm because the acid and pepsin are being aspirated to the area above the vocal cords and sometimes onto the vocal cords. Endoscopy a good idea if your have symptoms.
