i’m 21 and recently got inspected with a mirror by an ear nose and throat doctor after having a chronic dry throat for six months. it started out coming and going then just came to stay. he said i had lpr, and since starting a low acid diet and pepcid once a day as of a week and a half ago, my throat has gotten SLIGHTLY better but not altogether. my doctor permitted me a cup of coffee a day but wouldn’t tell me if i needed to quit smoking cigarettes or how to proceed after the month of the diet. i’m just really upset and i don’t know if this is permanent, i don’t want to have to deal with this for the rest of my life but everywhere says lpr will always resurface
