Exploring the Role of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux in Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Therapeutic Potential of Proton Pump Inhibitors in a Resource-Constrained Setting

Background Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) are under-recognized conditions that significantly impact quality of life. LPRD may contribute to ETD via gastric refluxate-induced mucosal damage. While proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used for reflu...
