I have reflux since aug 17 and was on diff medication. Got my endoscopy done. It's esophagitis erosive grade A rut positive. I have burps and keep frequently swallowing my saliva. There is sometimes burning sensation in throat and i have some liquid sounds in throat which is very bothering. I keep swallowing nuscus as well On esotrend LS and Sucrafil o gel.. Can any doctor help me if it's GERD or LPR. My doc has confirmed it to be GERD

LPR and GERD are not two different things...They are part of the same spectrum of disorder. The borderline is blurred.

Follow your doctor's prescription. Management are not anything strikingly different.
