A member asked:
Will barium swallow test tell you for sure if you got lpr or gerd?ent says voice box swollen but he treating me for allergies and lpr he don't know

This is a tough one: Even if the barium swallow confirms reflux it doesn't confirm that its the cause of your any voice problems. It is reasonable to treat both post nasal drip and gerd but it may take a long time to heal especially if it started out as a cold.
