Acid reflux in the throat, medically known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the throat and voice box.
Unlike typical acid reflux (GERD), LPR often does not cause heartburn. Instead, it irritates the throat and vocal cords, leading to chronic throat symptoms. Because it can occur without obvious stomach symptoms, it is often called “Silent Reflux.”
If untreated, LPR can cause long-term throat inflammation and voice problems.
Medical evaluation is recommended if:
Diagnosis may involve laryngoscopic examination to assess throat inflammation.
