Well it was just the one day I had a serious problem (range halved). The doctor saw no effects on the larynx, for now, but if the condition persists there can be. I probably have laryngopharyngeal reflux which is a subset of GERD I believe. This is often called "silent reflux" because the typical symtoms are absent.

Complications of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

Stomach acid that pools in the throat and larynx can cause long-term irritation and damage. Without treatment, it can be serious.
In adults, silent reflux can scar the throat and voice box. It can also increase risk for cancer in the area, affect the lungs, and may irritate conditions such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis.
The cancer doesn't make me fearful I guess becausee it seems less imminent than possible vocal changes, or tooth damage.
