Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

Overview and Facts about Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a digestive health disorder that occurs when you have gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD.

With GERD, stomach acid travels up your esophagus and when it reaches your throat it can cause LPR. When you have LPR, you may sound hoarse or feel like you need to clear your throat.

In most cases, LPR doesn’t require medical treatment, as it can go away with simple lifestyle changes.
