Wheezing/crackling sound in lungs after meals food is getting to my lungs due to lpr/gerd do i need surgery?

Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: I would suggest a swallowing and speech evaluation prior to surgery. If you are overweight, a nutritionist can advise calorie reduction. Exercise is important in weight control, but you should check with your PCP. A lung function test can be helpful.
