Suggest Treatment For Lump In Throat With Swelling And Excess Saliva

Laryngopharyngeal reflux...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
After going through the history I do feel, your doctor has rightly diagnosed. You seem to be suffering from Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) secondary to acid reflux disease.
LPR happens when the acid from the stomach regurgitates into the throat thus causing inflammatory reactions in the mucosa. This is evidenced by increased salivary secretions and redness in the mucosa.
Do not worry! This is one of the commonest medical condition. With appropriate intervention, it can be taken care of.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Drink plenty of warm water, to reduce the congestion
2. Try taking Proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole or Pantoperazole and a prokinetic.
3. Avoid stress, coffee/tea/alcohol/smoking (if any).
I'm sure with the above interventions you will definitely feel better. Revert back to me if you have any further queries.
