Reflux-Related Lung Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is advisable to consider a medical evaluation when a person has recurrent cough or respiratory discomfort that seems related to episodes of reflux, especially in childhood.
Reflux-related lung disease refers to involvement of the airways or lungs caused by stomach contents passing into them as a consequence of gastroesophageal reflux. The repeated irritation can translate into respiratory symptoms.
Common manifestations: persistent cough, wheezing, frequent respiratory infections, and, at times, worsening when lying down or after eating.
Which specialist handles it? In children, pediatric pulmonology is the area that assesses the respiratory impact of reflux and coordinates its follow-up. If respiratory symptoms recur and seem linked to reflux, the recommended course is to have a professional study the relationship between the two.
