Effects of pepsin and pepstatin on reflux tonsil hypertrophy in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 There is evidence that pepsin can aggravate tonsil hypertrophy. Pepstatin is a potent inhibitor of pepsin activity and could protect patients against reflux tonsil hypertrophy by inhibiting pepsin.

Extra-Esophageal Pepsin from Stomach Refluxate Promoted Tonsil Hypertrophy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Gastroesophageal reflux is associated with numerous pathologic conditions of the upper aerodigestive tract. Gastric pepsin within reflux contributes to immunologic reactions in the tonsil.
