Hello, I'm sorry to hear about the setback in your recovery. Colds can certainly make reflux worse, but the good news is that since you're on medication and eating a proper diet, I do not believe that your LPR symptoms will revert to their worst.
Additionally, I do not believe that it will necessarily undo all the work that you did to better yourself. From a recent personal example, I became stressed the other day because my sister became severely ill. That entire day, my stomach caught fire and I could feel constant reflux traveling up my esophagus. However, by staying on my diet, my LPR/GERD symptoms did not go to their worst the next day, and by the end of the week I was feeling better. I think that you should look at this cold and laryngitis as a bump in the road to your full recovery, so as difficult as it is, please do not feel disheartened.
Wishing you the best.
