A member asked:
I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia with acid reflux, sinusitis, & laryngitis. what kind of recovery period am i looking at?

Highly variable: This depends upon what you are recovering from, the state of your underlying health and the cause of the 'walking' pneumonia. The term can be interpreted in many ways, and how quickly you recover will depend upon the etiology. If it is mycoplasma (an atypical pneumonia) that can take up to 6 weeks. If it was a chemical pneumonia from aspiration due to reflux, correct the reflux, etc.

Depends on details: Your question suggests laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) aka extra-esophageal reflux disease (eerd). Generally, high dose ppis are ineffective; medications/ppis do not stop reflux. First, you must recover from pneumonia. Then, you should consult with a minimally invasive surgeon to discuss more definitive treatment options http://goo.Gl/0rrqv.

Will chronic laryngitis go away if i take an over-the-counter acid reflux medicine? Acid reflux in the past has caused me to have chronic laryngitis. Will over-the-counter reflux pills be strong enough or do I still have to take a prescription medication?
