title: Gastroesophageal reflux and the upper airway.
abstract: EER is a disorder commonly seen in otolaryngologic practice and differs from GERD in its clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and response to treatment. Its association with numerous disorders in children should lead otolaryngologists to consider this diagnosis in all patients with voice, airway, and swallowing complaints.
