The upward flow of gastric juices through the lower and upper esophageal sphincters. Reflux may occur as either laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Irritation from the acid and enzymes of the stomach can damage the tissues of the larynx and pharynx causing dysphonia and/or changes in sensation such as feeling a lump in the throat, tickling, or the production of excessive mucus.[1]
