Cough and Reflux

Chronic cough and reflux are closely linked conditions that can cause significant throat discomfort, often disrupting daily life. A persistent cough is often a symptom of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat or oesophagus. This can irritate the throat lining, leading to symptoms such as hoarseness, frequent throat clearing, a sore throat, or a sensation of a lump in the throat. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to ongoing inflammation or complications such as vocal cord damage.

For patients experiencing chronic cough and reflux, The ENT Consultancy offers thorough evaluations to determine the cause and severity of the problem. Our specialists may use tools such as laryngoscopy or pH monitoring to assess reflux-related damage. Treatments are tailored to each patient and may include medications to reduce acid production, dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments to effectively manage symptoms.
