All subjects are likely to have lymphadenopathy 

Why does gastric reflux occur?

When you have gastroesophageal reflux disease , the esophageal lumen is inflamed, the sphincter muscle weakness makes the esophageal mouth open frequently, especially at bedtime, allowing free gastric esophageal fluid to reflux into the throat, nose and sinuses. ear and spill over into the larynx into the lungs. The pharynx is located at the junction of the airways of eating and breathing, so the pathology of the pharynx cannot be separated from the pathology of the nasopharynx and gastroesophageal junction. Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes are the result of gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is the body's response to inflammation. In addition to swollen lymph nodes, you also often have heartburn, difficulty swallowing, coughing or wheezing, chest pain when having acid reflux.

• Divide the daily menu into small meals.
• Wear loose and comfortable clothes to avoid pressure on the abdomen.
• When sleeping, raise the head of the bed.

Proton pump inhibitors

Proton pump inhibitors are currently the safest and most effective treatment for patients with chronic acid reflux. They work to reduce the production of stomach acid, thereby preventing the symptoms of acid reflux.

However, it should be noted that long-term use of this drug can deplete vitamin B12 in the body. In addition, a sufficient amount of stomach acid in the body helps to fight infections. So, reducing this acid can increase the risk of infection and fracture.

Gastric reflux surgery

Surgery is the most effective treatment for acid reflux . In particular, the most prominent is the Nissen fundus surgery. This can create a new "functional valve" between the esophagus and stomach that prevents acid reflux from the stomach into the esophagus.

Surgery is one of the effective ways to overcome acid reflux
