Emma thought her throat discomfort was simply caused by a busy week.
Every morning, she woke up with a dry, irritated throat. Sometimes she had a strange taste in her mouth, and at night, she often felt uncomfortable after lying down.
"I'm not sick… so why does my throat keep bothering me?" she wondered.
Sometimes, symptoms like throat irritation, coughing, or discomfort may be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). And the cause may not always feel obvious.
Here's something interesting: pepsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach. When gastric contents reflux beyond the stomach, pepsin may reach the upper digestive tract and can potentially be detected in saliva.
💙 Pepsin Antigen Rapid Test is designed for the in vitro qualitative detection of pepsin antigen in human saliva.
Using an immunochromatographic test principle, the test provides a simple way to detect pepsin antigen in saliva. A visible test line indicates a positive result, while the control line confirms that the test has worked properly.
It's important to remember that a rapid test result should be interpreted together with symptoms and professional medical evaluation. It is not intended to replace a doctor's diagnosis.
