Bluesmanbill: There is something informally called silent reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux) that affects the throat, nose and ears. I don't remember if it involves the stomach acid but it does involve the digestive enzyme pepsin, which is an aerosol , so you don't necessarily feel any damage being done. An ENT named Jamie Koufman has a blog post on the topic https://jamiekoufman.com/understanding-post-nasal-drip-and-respiratory-reflux-your-complete-treatment-guide/ . If it is LPR, a low acid, whole food diet may help. If it's not LPR, good luck finding a path forward.
