I've been dealing with LPR (silent reflux) for a few years now, and sometimes I worry about long-term complications. Someone mentioned it can sometimes lead to more serious issues. How long does LPR typically have to be present or severe before there's a risk of it causing something like cancer?

My son had severe acid reflux. With proper diet and antacids, it cleared up in months; don't worry about cancer as it requires decades of neglected damage.

I went to a specialist at a corporate hospital for my throat clearing issue. It is better to get an endoscopy and ask your doctor clearly.

Instead of worrying, budget for a simple doctor consultation. Basic lifestyle changes and cheap medications will keep LPR under control easily.
