Q: A ENT Dr. diagnosed me with having acid reflux. I've been hoarse for three weeks, but have no other symptons - I've never had heartburn. Is this possible?

He put me on Prevacid and said it could take up to 6 weeks to work - I NEED my voice back!!

Absolutely! I had issues for years with frequent and prolonged bronchitis and laryngitis. It was only after I got "true" reflux symptoms and was treated for those that I realized the other symptoms were gone as well.
