The reason laryngopharyngeal reflux is difficult to treat completely
Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR) has become an obsession for many people, causing hoarseness, prolonged coughing and sore throat. Despite treatment, the disease is still not cured and can easily relapse.
Below is the sharing of Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Thi Bich Dao, Lecturer of Ear – Nose – Throat Department, Hanoi Medical University, about the causes and solutions to improve laryngopharyngeal reflux.
What is laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)?
– LPR is a condition in which stomach fluids, including acid and pepsin, reflux into the throat and larynx. This is the cause of symptoms such as hoarseness, dry cough, feeling of a foreign object in the throat and sore throat.
Why is the disease more common today?
– This disease is increasingly common due to the influence of modern lifestyle, unhealthy diet and prolonged stress. Along with that, overweight and obesity is also an important risk factor leading to laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.
Why is the disease difficult to treat completely?
– Pepsin is an enzyme in gastric juice. When refluxed into the throat and larynx, it sticks to the mucosa and causes chronic inflammation. Even though stomach acid is controlled, pepsin continues to cause mucosal damage, making the disease difficult to treat thoroughly and prone to recurrence. Therefore, treatments that focus solely on acid inhibition (PPI) are often insufficient to resolve the problem.
What are the difficulties in diagnosing and treating LPR?
– LPR has atypical symptoms such as hoarseness, prolonged cough, feeling of a foreign object in the throat, easily confused with other respiratory diseases leading to late diagnosis or wrong direction, making the treatment process difficult. so it’s difficult.
In addition, LPR treatment does not only rely on medication but also requires lifestyle changes, keeping a comfortable mind and avoiding stress. This is often difficult to do and maintain long-term, making it easy for the disease to relapse. In some cases, long-term use of acid-inhibiting drugs (PPIs) does not stop reflux. Therefore, the disease may relapse after stopping the medication if the root cause is not completely resolved.

Marial Gel creates floating rafts to help prevent pepsin, acid and stomach fluid from refluxing.

What changes in lifestyle and diet should people with LPR be aware of?
– Besides using Marial Gel, patients need to avoid stimulating foods such as spicy foods, alcohol, coffee and chocolate. Elevating your head when sleeping and avoiding eating and drinking before bed also help reduce the risk of reflux. Stress management is also important, because stress is a factor that easily stimulates reflux.
