Your vocal cords are located in an upper part of the airway called the voice box (larynx). A vocal cord spasm limits the flow of air through the larynx. The cause of laryngospasm is often not known, but certain conditions may be contributing factors or triggers: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which acid from the stomach backs up into the food pipe (esophagus)
Treatment for laryngospasm or laryngeal spasm comprises of treating the underlying condition which is causing it. If the cause of the laryngospasm is GERD, then treatment for this condition helps in managing laryngospasm. Proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole, dexlansoprazole and lansoprazole are prescribed.
