That scratchy morning voice might not be allergies — it could be acid reflux in disguise

Dear Doctor Roach: Can you give me information about laryngopharyngeal reflux? I develop a croaky voice at times and have lots of mucus in the morning (which doesn’t get coughed up), among other things. Is diet alone enough to remedy the problem? I’m going in for a vocal cord vibration test. -- M.M.
