A member asked:
Possible to have lpr without throat/vocal cord inflammation/redness? suffering 2+ yrs of thick mucus, throat clearing & post-nasal drip. not allergy!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not LPR: LPR, also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux is due to stomach acid that travels from the stomach up through the esophagus and then causes irritation to laryngopharyngeal region. Sounds like you have post nasal drip. Possibly not an allergy. May need CT Scan of sinuses to show possible chronic sinusitis. Please follow-up with your primary care doctor if symptoms do not resolve soon.
