What are some ways to get rid for the lump sensation in my throat due to having laryngopharyngeal reflux(lpr)? i am currently on 20mg omeprazole once a day?

Life style changes: Make sure you take omeprazole regularly. Life style modifications - regular exercise, eat smaller meals, do not lie down immediately after eating, avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, chocolates and citrus foods. Breathing exercises for destressing. If practice regularly these modifications will help with the LPR and help getting rid of the lump sensation.

ENT: Best to discuss this with your ENT who knows your medical history. If you are uncomfortable with your Dr. consult with another for a second opinion.
