What is the best treatment of lpr? two ppi are not helping.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Few options: Laryngopharengeal reflux can be difficult to manage and requires long term acid suppression. Continue the ppis but consider adding h2-blockers ( such as ranitidine ) at bedtime and anti allergy medication such as Allegra or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to control the existing inflammation of the larynx or pharyngeal mucosa. Sometimes pro motility medications may help. Dietary and lifestyle changes. Surgery an option.
