I know I've seen posts on laryngeal reflux. The past month or more I have had hoarseness, no heartburn, sometimes coughing up mucus, white stuff, then my voice is clearer again. I do sometimes have an odd taste in my mouth, not so much sour, I can't tell what it tastes like exactly. My latest CT showed everything ok, except my thyroid, which is smaller. (already knew that, I'm on meds for hypothyroid)

I am scheduled to have a video of my larynx in action, which is recommended by my ENT doc. It'll show if there is reflux or if I have "weak vocal cords" . . . I doubt it as I don't have the other symptoms for that. I started OTC Prilosec once a day 4 days ago, already got better, but I'm still hoarse, nothing wrong with my breathing or swallowing function. My rad therapy included using IMRT on my lower neck, as my "large scar of variable depths" went over my larynx area. Yes my neck is thin, and they told me unfortunately because of that the scar/cut had to be placed there. I'm a light weight. So I did lose part of my thyroid function, but hoping my larynx was not so hard hit. Guess I'll find out.

Anyone with experience on this?
