Mucus Clearing

No, things seem to settle for me a few minutes after clearance. What does your doctor say about a short term trial of a PPI to see if it helps your throat mucus problem? I've noticed you've posted about this issue several times. Hoping you get some relief.

Scoop- Yes, you are right, I keep asking because it is so frustrating.
I am giving thought to going back up to NJH to see about it. The original findings at NJH after the testing for Acid Reflux came back....not found, none.
They did indicate I have a small hiatal hernia and one of the gastroenterologists there, via a video I watched months after my visit there, talked about it possibly causing a problem with needing to clear the throat often. My lead pulmonologist and gastroenterologist I saw there at NJH did not speak of what the hiatal hernia could cause. They just told me what they found, a small hiatal hernia.
'Push is coming to shove' for me and I need to do better about getting a possible definitive answer.
From what I heard and read, one being a video by Dr. Gwen Hewitt a retired Infectious Disease doctor at NJH who lived with Acid Reflux, the PPI's should be given for, taken for, a temporary period to help healing of lesions etc. and then stop taking it because the PPI's can, in the long run, make Acid Reflux worse. Another hard call about taking them or not.

Thanks for explaining things, Barbara. I can only imagine how frustrated you are and annoying this must be. I hear what you’re saying about PPI’s. They are meant for short term treatment, and often they turn into long-term treatment. That said if it were I, with my doctors supervision, I would try a two week course of a PPI since you’re at your wits end.
