Could Silent Reflux Be Behind Your Throat Symptoms?

Not all reflux causes heartburn. With silent reflux (LPR), stomach acid travels up to your throat and voice box and quietly irritates the tissue — without the burning most people expect. That's why so many patients spend months clearing their throat, fighting a dry cough, or feeling like something is stuck, without ever connecting it to reflux.

Because it mimics allergies or a lingering cold, silent reflux is easy to miss and easy to mistreat. Dr. Kasle examines your throat to assess whether reflux may be contributing to your symptoms and discusses treatment options to reduce irritation.
