Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a medical condition characterized by the upward flow of stomach acid into the throat and larynx. This condition is often referred to by other names to help describe the symptoms and underlying causes. Common synonyms for LPR include silent reflux, extra-esophageal reflux disease, throat reflux, and airway reflux. These terms reflect the various parts of the body affected by the reflux, such as the larynx, pharynx, and airway. Additionally, LPR may be referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) when it co-occurs with traditional acid reflux symptoms, such as heartburn. Regardless of the name used, it is essential to seek medical treatment for LPR to prevent potential complications and improve quality of life.
