A member asked:

58 year old lady, suffering from acid reflux, have taken different type of ppi, in different doses for one year but no improvement .i have continuous saliva in my mouth, mucous-like consistency which provokes persistent cough to clear my throat. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This appears to be laryngopharyngeal reflux which goes from the stomach up the esophagus all the way up to the throat. It causes irritation of the throat and larynx resulting in hoarseness and irritating cough. Treatment & diet is similar to acid reflux but overweight and tight abdominal garments aggravate the condition. An otolaryngologist can diagnose characteristic changes in the larynx.
