Abstract

Laryngopharyngeal refl ux is the refl ux of gastric content into the larynx and pharynx. Although laryngohparyngeal refl ux has been
recognised as an important cause of respiratory symptoms, diagnosing laryngopharyngeal refl ux in children is still challenging. We
present a 4.5-year-old boy in whom we found laryngopharyngeal refl ux as a cause of chronic cough and recurrent wheezing episodes.

Keywords

laryngopharyngeal refl ux; signs and symptoms, respiratory; child, preschool
