Uncovering the Symptoms and Causes of LPR, a Stealthy Form of Acid Reflux

In this episode of We Nose Noses, the hosts explore a type of acid reflux that often goes undetected: LPR, or laryngopharyngeal reflux. Unlike traditional reflux, LPR doesn't always present with typical symptoms like heartburn or indigestion, making it difficult to diagnose. Hosts Undavia, Reddy and Smith, who are experienced ENT doctors, are here to help explain the signs and causes of LPR, and what you can do to manage it. They'll discuss the various ways that LPR can manifest, such as hoarseness, chronic cough, and even dental problems, and provide insights into the underlying mechanisms that cause LPR. By the end of the episode, you'll have a better understanding of how to recognize LPR symptoms and take steps to reduce its impact on your life. Whether you suffer from LPR or simply want to learn more about this stealthy form of acid reflux, this episode is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ENT health.

What you'll learn:
- Why LPR can be difficult to detect, and how it differs from traditional acid reflux
- When to be concerned about LPR symptoms, and how they can impact your overall health and quality of life
- How to recognize the signs and causes of LPR, and what lifestyle changes and medications can be used to manage the condition
What to expect from a diagnosis of LPR, and when to seek medical help if symptoms persist or worsen
