Saanvi Smith, a 28-year-old elementary school...
Saanvi Smith, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher, had been struggling for months with a persistent, burning sensation in her throat, especially after talking all day. She initially dismissed it as seasonal allergies or overuse, but the pain became constant, interfering with her sleep and making eating painful. Her primary care doctor ruled out common infections and referred her to an ENT specialist. After a laryngoscopy revealed signs of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), where stomach acid irritates the throat, the ENT recommended a course of high-dose proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and strict dietary modifications. Saanvi was anxious, fearing a serious condition and worried about her ability to teach. The treatment experience involved taking medication daily and eliminating coffee, tomatoes, and spicy foods, a significant lifestyle change. After 6 weeks, the burning sensation subsided dramatically. Her recovery involved slowly reintroducing foods and transitioning to a maintenance dose. Emotionally, she moved from frustration and anxiety to relief and empowerment, feeling back in control of her health and her classroom.
