That patients with coughs, sore throats or other respiratory disorders that do not respond to the therapies usually used against these symptoms, with each likelihood, they have pathology that does not primarily affect the pathways airways, but the digestive system: gastroesophageal reflux. Causing problems are. The droplets of acidic gastric juices that reach the throat, irritating it, and which can enter the larynx and trachea, causing them to become inflamed. These effects are particularly harmful in those who already suffer from asthma, diseasewith a predominantly allergic basis, which often has precisely the gastroesophageal reflux as a complication. A few details on a link that can create significant discomfort for sufferers.
