What is Reflux or GERD / LPR

This video demonstrates what happens when a patient suffers from reflux. Although most suffer from heartburn, a not insignificant number of patients suffer from symptoms affecting ONLY the throat including globus, phlegmy throat, throat-clearing, and sore throat. Reflux causing throat only symptoms is called LPR or laryngopharyngeal reflux.
