Many people have had the feeling that their throats are "stuck" with foreign bodies, especially in dry and cold winter. I always feel that my throat is blocked by a foreign body, so I have to expel it. I always want to clear my throat and expel the foreign body, but no matter how hard I try, it will not help, and the symptoms still exist. After a long time, some people doubt whether there is something wrong with the throat, but the inspection results show that it is often worrying. To this end, experts in otolaryngology reminded that you should never clear your throat or drink water violently all day, because these wrong behaviors will only make your throat drier and more uncomfortable, and even lead to chronic pharyngitis.

The sensory nerves in the throat are particularly developed, so many people have had "foreign body sensation in the throat". When this symptom occurs, it is necessary to check the nasopharynx, larynx and other parts first to exclude organic lesions such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer. It's just that there is a foreign body sensation in the throat, and there is no pain when eating, but when drinking water or swallowing saliva, I feel something "stuck" in my throat. Experts believe that people with such symptoms usually have two kinds of reactions, one is to dry cough or clear throat all day, the other is to swallow saliva violently, and both kinds of small movements are not good for the throat. Because clearing the throat will make the air stimulate the mucosa of the throat wall and make the larynx dry; Swallowing saliva will also dry the moist throat mucosa, and the throat will feel uncomfortable, clearing the throat again and again, forming a vicious circle. Others will feel dry throat and drink water from morning till night, but no matter how much water they drink, their mouth is still dry. This phenomenon should be caused by the imbalance of autonomic nervous system and the decrease of salivary gland secretion, resulting in dry throat.

When there is a foreign body sensation in the throat, I will give you a little advice: take a sip of warm water and swallow it to relieve the discomfort in the throat. Otherwise, if you keep clearing your throat, it is not only unsanitary, but also harmful to the throat wall, which may cause chronic pharyngitis.

If you have a cold and your throat is uncomfortable, you can use several simple moves: when taking a bath, use a shower nozzle to clean the inside of your throat, which can wash away the air pollution components and virus particles on the surface and then spit out the water; The other is to gargle with warm boiled water and salt to reduce the chance of infection.

However, some people's throat foreign body sensation is also caused by stress, so the best way is to relax yourself and not pay too much attention to the "foreign body sensation" in the throat. As long as you get enough sleep, don't talk too much, reduce stress, slow down your life, replenish more water, and avoid contact with cold, spicy and other stimulating foods, the general symptoms can be alleviated.
