Has anyone ever had callouses on their vocal cords. Did any treatment work?

I have a couple of sets of callouses confirmed by scoping. The ENT says it's caused by hidden reflux so I've been taking prescription prilosec for two months. My voice still becomes ragged after an hour or so of conversation and sometimes gets hoarse as well. I don't think there has been much improvement and his recs for a two month treatment is over this week. Someone told me to elevate my headboard four inches. I'm going to try to get those bed risers and hope they are the height I need.

I would really appreciate any suggestions. I'd like to see a speech therapist but I don't think my medical would pay and I can't handle it just now.

Thank you.
