Laryngopharyngeal Reflux: An Update

🔬 LPR ≠ GERD: It usually occurs upright, during the day, and affects the throat and voice more than the esophagus due to direct and indirect effects of reflux contents, with possible neurologic hypersensitivity. 📋 Diagnosis can be tricky—gold standard testing (HEMII-pH) is rarely done. Tools like the RSI or RSS-12 questionnaires help identify it early. 🥗 Lifestyle changes matter ALOT: Eat slowly, avoid over overstuffing, avoid late meals with alcohol, reduce acidic/fatty foods, manage stress.
