Laryngopharyngeal reflux, also known as silent reflux. It's basically reflux without the standard symptoms such as heartburn, and therefore it's called silent. Instead of a burning feeling of acid in your chest and throat, an enzyme called pepsin comes up and irritates/damages your throat and even sinuses and nose. Google for more info 🙂
