I've had untreated laryngopharyngeal reflux since oct 12' and i fear it has caused irreversible damage. how do i begin to treat this other than diet?

LPR: Diet is important, particularly avoidance of caffeine. This includes decaffeinated products. In addition you can consider taking Prilosec otc 1/2-1 hour before breakfast and dinner. It can weeks or even months to improve, but the only way to really know about damage is to see and ENT doc or GI doc with knowledge of this entity.
