Managing Reflux: Why a Team of ENT, GI, and SLP Is Essential
Managing reflux can’t be done in silos. Unlike classic GERD, LPR is often “silent,” with symptoms like chronic cough, hoarseness, or a lump-in-the-throat sensation—sometimes without heartburn at all. No single specialist can solve this puzzle alone. That’s why collaboration between ENTs, gastroenterologists, and speech-language pathologists is essential. Together, this team brings the full picture into focus, leading to more accurate diagnoses, coordinated treatment, and better outcomes for patients.
