A member asked:
Need advice on what is the the difference between laryngopharyngeal reflux and acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Location of symptom: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) and gastroesophageal reflex (gerd) differ mostly in the way a patient has symptoms. They are both ultimately caused by stomach contents moving backwards. In gerd, the predominant symptom is heartburn. In lpr, there are many possible symptoms including cough, hoarseness, sore throat, throat clearing, sensation of a lump in the throat. Treatment is similar for both.
