Suggest Remedy For Severe Throat Irritation While Treating Acid Reflux
Question: Sir I have acid reflux problem some time my throat irritating after some days become normal but this cycle two or three times in month so is it possible to swellon lymph nodes. If yes Pls explain detail for acid reflux
Brief Answer:
Acid reflux will not cause swollen lymph nodes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Acid reflux occurs in normal people about 4-5 times a day. In severe cases reflux occurs more than 15-20 times per day.
2. In addition to acid, digestive enzymes are also present in the reflux. These are neutralised by saliva which is alkaline. With every reflux, the pH falls and the enzymes are activated again, adding to the irritation by the acid.
3. Most cases of reflux will setyle down with lifestyle an diet changes. About a third of cases have a hiatus (sliding) hernia. This requires a USG (Ultrasound) Abdomen or a Gastroendoscopy to detect.
4. H. pylori infection is another common condition that needs to be investigated. A biopsy, breath, blood or stool tests are available for h. pylori detection. Medication for h. pylori is available.
5. Hence you should get a VL'Scopy (Videolaryngscopy) done by an ENT Specialist and if this shows signs of reflux, consult a Gastroenterologist.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
