Hi everyone. I have been suffering from GERD for years. I recently got a teaching job, and from day one of talking I've felt extreme throat pain. My ENT confirmed I have Reflux Laryngitis, and ramped up my meds. I was taking Nexium, and keeping weight under control. Now she added Zantac and some allergy meds for my post nasal drip. Has anyone had a job that they talk all day, and due to the GERD had severe throat pain and/or Laryngitis? How long did it last?
There is no direct natural medicine that cures asthma but there are items you can do to help your sons overall health. Since asthma is an inflammatory condition, anything that helps to lower inflammation should in theory help lowers the symptoms.
Your best chance of actually helping his asthma is to find a registered and well known naturopath - they have six to eight years of university in natural medicine and thus have the knowledge regarding homeopathic and other natural treatments.
I have had a chest, sinus cold going on four weeks now with intermittent laryngitis. I have been on a course of Levaquin 2 weeks ago and am still sick. Prior to this cold I had another cold and was on a Z pac, can't seem to get any better... Never had a fever, just productive cough raising green phlegm.. Should I be working about my immune system at this point?
thank you all for the reply -- I ordered some hylands for the RLS--- my dad will be very happy!!!
Okay, since 1992 I have had lots of throat infections in 1995 I had my tonsils and adanoids removed to help however it never did. And still had aleast 7 throat infections and laryngitis a year but since January this year I have had 20suvere throat infections all with laryngitis.
However, a side effect of both medications is laryngitis. I recently had laryngitis for 6 weeks. It started as a virus and would not go a way. I decided it was my atrovent neb (an anticholinergic like Spiriva). My allergist thought it was my Dulera (inhaled combination med like Advair). I eliminated the atrovent and reduced my Dulera and the laryngitis healed.
She needs to discus any changes in dosage with her doctor before making changes.
I wouldn't take anything that affects brain neurotransmitters given the huge number of drugs you're already taking that are duplicative in targeting these receptors. For example, say you tried valerian. Although plants are more complicated synergistically than science can figure out to this point in time, it is widely thought that valerian targets GABA to produce its relaxing effect, at least in part.
I am not discouraging you from exploring any alternative cures. The medical establishment does not have all the answers to the problem of cancer. This is why medical research continues so we all may have better and more effective treatments for this disease. What I wish to caution against are treatments which claim to be a panacea or cure-all for cancer, of which there are too many out there.
Thank you for the advice. I've started a food journal today and decided to restrict my diet even further for right now, and try some 'natural remedies' I've read about. My main goal is to heal the ulcers and then I will be able to treat occasional heartburn flare ups.
Please let me know, my son has been doing research on natural remedies because he just thinks chemo kills too many other cells.
As someone who is still recovering from acid reflux laryngitis, I will say that it took MONTHS for my voice to return. My laryngitis started in October 2009 and continued into April 2010 with slight improvements starting in late February. When I was first diagnosed as acid reflux causing my laryngitis, I was told it would take at least three months to get my voice back.
However I have been sick a few times since then and every time the virus turns straight into terrible laryngitis. Before the surgery I very rarely ever got laryngitis but now it comes on so easily and lasts for a while. Is there any reason that this would be connected to my thyroid surgery? Wondering if this is still part of the healing process or not? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
In the natural med biz marigold is usually called calendula. Same stuff? Never knew it to affect the eyes. Pretty amazing.
