Long-term smokers must have this experience, the morning when you get up in the throat of the phlegm, brushing teeth is also easy to nausea and dry heaves, a little bit of sweet things, often dry heaves to the mouth of the spit dry, the words can not say.

This is a typical manifestation of chronic pharyngitis. Why is this area so prone to inflammation?

There is an old saying: "The throat is a stronghold, and the soldiers must fight."

This phrase vividly illustrates the importance of the throat. It as the respiratory tract and the digestive tract *** with the channel, not only to withstand a lot of stimulation from the air, such as dust, soot, mold, bacteria and other external stimuli, but also to resist from the stomach acid reflux corrosion, this special position, making the mucous membrane of the throat area is very easy to inflammation.

And once the throat is inflamed, the top will be too much secretion of phlegm, causing the conditioned reflex of dry heaves. In life, many people are sucking phlegm constantly, giving people the impression of unhygienic.

But even if it is so much of a headache, trying to solve it is not easy, and many people last more than 10 years is not good.

Many patients are asking: chronic pharyngitis in the end how can I treat it? This article will help you to clarify.

Before we know how to fix it, we have to know if we really have pharyngitis. Usually, you can tell by the symptoms.

The common symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are: Foreign body sensation in the throat, itchy, burning throat, dry, slightly sore throat, dry cough, phlegm that is not easy to cough up, fatigue when speaking, or nausea and nausea when brushing and gargling/talking.

In some people, there is also a thick, sticky secretion in the throat that clings to the back wall of the pharynx. These patients tend to wake up in the morning with an irritating cough, accompanied by nausea, and sometimes coughing up granular, couch-like secretions.

In other patients, the pharyngeal secretions are small and not easy to cough up, so they have a habitual dry cough, need to clear their throat to cough up sputum, and if they cough up sputum with too much force, they are prone to coughing up bloody secretions.

The above symptoms mostly last for more than 3 weeks. If this is the case with you, it is mostly chronic pharyngitis.

1, snoring: sleep apnea

A lot of people have this kind of doubt, they do not have fat, why the family said they snore more and more loudly.

This is most likely the scourge of chronic pharyngitis. The pharynx has a long-term inflammatory stimulus, will lead to the pharynx, uvula and other tissues congestion and edema, tonsil enlargement, extrusion of the respiratory tract, resulting in the narrowing of the upper respiratory tract, especially easy to cause snoring when the patient sleep.

This affects the blood oxygen supply to the body, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and may also induce low blood pressure problems.

2, inflammation of the posterior nasal tract

Chronic pharyngitis persists, and can also cause tinnitus and hearing loss.

Chronic pharyngitis symptoms are difficult to self-heal without regular treatment. But in other words, a cure is not impossible if you go to a qualified hospital in time and follow your doctor's recommendations for examination and treatment.

There are 2 key points in treating chronic pharyngitis. The first is to eliminate the symptoms, and the second is to remove the primary cause of the irritation of pharyngitis. And the latter is the key to solving chronic pharyngitis.

There are a number of ways to relieve symptoms, such as using herbal tablets, gargling, and wiping the posterior pharyngeal wall. These symptom-specific relief methods mentioned above can temporarily relieve the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis, but after stopping the medication, it is easy to relapse. This is because this approach does not target the cause of the disease, and as long as the primary cause of chronic pharyngitis symptoms has not been cured or the irritating factors have not been removed, such symptoms may still occur. Therefore, it is important to find the cause of chronic pharyngitis and implement targeted treatment measures.

Diseases that can cause symptoms of chronic pharyngitis include the following three:

Diseases of the neighboring organs of the pharynx, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, enlarged adenoids, and recurring tonsillitis, which can be treated with medication or surgery.

Gastric acid reflux can be treated with medications, mainly acid suppressants. Those with severe gastroesophageal reflux and ineffective medication can be selectively treated with surgery on a case-by-case basis.

Allergic rhinitis, which causes symptoms of chronic pharyngitis, can be treated with oral antihistamines, local glucocorticoids.
