Does surgery work for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?

I have had LPR for last 2 years. Started with Gerd four years ago and Gerd progressed in my throat. Don't eat and especially don't drink any fluids 5 hours prior to laying down to sleep. Take Extra strength Gaviscon. You can order on Amazon. It comes from UK. It has algae anise. Get a wedge 8 inch high and sleep on your left and put a pillow on your back so you sleep straight, otherwise your back starts curving and hurts. And diet. Research on Google to see what you can't eat. Drs. don't know unless is an Integrative doctor. Not sure if you have hiatal hernia and if the if your LES is working properly. Good Luck.

My dr is not so sure that lpr is a real thing and if you go on line some sites claim that lpr might be something over diagnosed. If you are on ppis for 2 months and it doesn’t help I would think it’s not acid reflux. Diet should help and sleeping propped up should help but it doesn’t address the underlying cause. That is the big question. Ent drs think it’s sinus and gastro drs think it’s acid reflux. Good luck
