10 Acid Reflux Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Laryngitis
Our ability to use complex speech patterns is largely down to our voice box. Known medically as the larynx, this part of the body contains vocal cords which help us to alter the frequency of airwaves as they leave our mouths. This allows us to speak, shout and even sing.
The voice box is quite a delicate organ, though, and is susceptible to damage. The soft tissues can be affected by the acidity of the stomach’s juices, causing some pain and swelling of the voice box. In addition to pain and soreness, the patient can also find that their voice changes or that they have difficulty speaking at all.
