For chronic laryngitis, it's important to treat the underlying issue, for example, using allergy medication, avoiding irritating agents, and using gastroesophageal reflux medications.
Ok, now the most common symptom of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease is pyrosis, also called heartburn, which is a burning pain in the chest, just behind behind the breastbone.
Reflux laryngitis is another cause of chronic laryngitis and develops in people with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease where acid from the stomach goes all the way up the esophagus into the pharynx.
Alright, as a quick recap, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a condition where a decreased tone of the lower esophageal sphincter causes an excessive amount of stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.
