Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
I have Laryngophrayngeal Reflux, as diagnosed by my ENT specialist and gastroenterologist. I am 18 years old and occasionally I get acid reflux attacks, like now. I keep coughing and fluid keeps slushing up and down my throat..I keep coughing up some food..only rarely do I get these attacks, and it seems that I have precipitating factors..For instance, I ate a sandwich with corn in it, and that s wrecked me...same happened last year twice..what to do? I am so frustrated coughing my lungs out and I am terrified that I choke on my vomit..please help me

Thanks for the query
Looks like u have acid reflux, refrain from smoking, spicy food. Follow a strict timely diet. Avoid full stomach feeds, eat sparingly but many times a day
U would prescribe u a pro kinetic like mosapride for the acute excaccerbations
Have a healthy living
