42 Inflammation of the Throat, Larynx and Lungs Reflux liquids can also cause soreness and hoarseness when they come into contact with the throat and larynx. Sometimes the reflux liquids can make their way into the lungs and lead to coughing and choking and can cause a dangerous infection. Asthma and Cough As the reflux liquids irritate and inflame the lining of the esophagus, they also irritate and stimulate the nerves. The stimulation of the esophagus nerves signal the lung tubes to narrow, which may result in severe coughs and asthma attacks. Asthma can also be the result of aspiration of gastric contents to the lung. Jeff Martin – Heartburn No More Page 42
