Silent Reflux Disease is also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux or LPR. This condition is a form of acid reflux that does not exhibit the classic reflux or GERD symptom of heartburn. LPR is common in infants and children because of their shorter esophagus and underdeveloped esophageal sphincter, but adults can be diagnosed as well. This condition can be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, and more severe cases can be remedied with surgery.
