Pharyngitis can be divided into acute or chronic. The acute stage is easier to treat. It is just temporary congestion caused by bacterial or viral infection. Acute pharyngitis will gradually disappear as the cold is cured, because congestion is a symptom, and the mucosa is not. There was no substantial damage so it healed quickly.
But chronic pharyngitis is different. For chronic pharyngitis to get better, the mucosa must repair itself to its original state. Human cells have self-repair function, but it is very slow. Some people have mild symptoms for a few months, and for some people, it takes several years. This depends on the degree of damage to the mucous membrane and the individual's renewal ability. This involves a premise: your self-repair should not be hindered by a bad life routine.
In addition, the pharynx is also greatly affected by personal living habits, such as smoking, drinking, spicy diet, long-term fatigue, and low immunity, which will all affect the recovery of chronic pharyngitis.
Hello, I am very happy to answer your question. I have encountered a lot of chronic pharyngitis in clinical practice. The symptoms are not obvious, but they just come back and forth and cannot be cured. Let me tell you the reasons.
Now we need to know that chronic pharyngitis is caused by acute pharyngitis, which is not treated promptly and thoroughly, and is delayed, resulting in the formation of chronic irritating inflammation in the throat. Once it enters the chronic stage, taking antibiotics will basically There is no effect on it.
Many patients with chronic pharyngitis will suffer from throat irritation symptoms, such as dry throat and itchy throat, coughing and sputum production, foreign body sensation in the throat, unable to cough out, unable to swallow, which is very uncomfortable. If there is improper diet, For example, eating cold and spicy foods, exogenous wind-cold, excessive use of the voice, and talking too much can lead to the recurrence of chronic pharyngitis.
There are also some patients with pharyngitis who usually do not have any symptoms. They experience discomfort when brushing their teeth after getting up in the morning, retching and wanting to vomit, but cannot vomit anything.
In fact, chronic pharyngitis has always been difficult to cure. There are many restrictive factors, such as eating habits. Many people suffer from recurrence of chronic pharyngitis due to improper diet. Because it is really difficult to completely control your diet.
Chronic pharyngitis is also related to gastric diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, stagnation of liver qi, and upward gastric qi, all of which can lead to irritation symptoms in the throat. Conventional medications for treating pharyngitis are ineffective. If appropriate treatment is used, Medications for the spleen and stomach are sometimes very effective.
There is also a small number of patients with chronic pharyngitis who have a certain relationship with the cervical spine and can present with chronic pharyngeal symptoms, such as foreign body sensation in the throat, cough and phlegm, dry and itchy throat, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, etc. When I treat this part of pharyngitis clinically, I usually choose acupuncture combined with acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine plasters, or combined with moxibustion conditioning, which often achieves good results.
Having said all this, everyone should know why chronic pharyngitis is so difficult to cure? On the one hand, it is because the living habits cannot be completely corrected and the diet cannot be completely controlled. On the other hand, the root cause has not been found, such as gastrogenic pharyngitis and cervicogenic pharyngitis, which leads to chronic pharyngitis. There is no complete cure.
Let’s talk about the recurrence of chronic pharyngitis later. Be sure not to take too many cold medicines or throat lozenges that are too cold. This can only temporarily relieve pharyngeal discomfort, but it will cause pharyngitis symptoms. It is getting worse and worse, because chronic pharyngitis seems to be caused by internal heat, but in fact most of it is caused by deficient fire, which is what we call Han Zheng. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it is still necessary to regulate the spleen and stomach and dispel cold and dehumidification.
I had very painful strep throat, and no medicine was effective. Finally, I went to a Chinese medicine doctor and took a few Chinese medicines to cure it.
The person who raised this question must have had a sore throat for several days and is suffering from the pain. I express my concern and sympathy for you! I don’t know if you have heard of the term “self-healing”. In fact, this term should be widely promoted so that we can benefit a lot in terms of health and healing.
About 30 years ago, I had a severe sore throat. How serious was it? Every time I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it was a torture. I also had stomatitis, which caused ulcers and a large amount of saliva. It made me feel so uncomfortable that I felt like dying! I am a person who doesn't like taking medicine very much. It is normal for me not to take a pill for several years and not to pay a penny for the medicine. But this time I really couldn't bear it anymore. I had to find some medicine to take. I opened the drawer I picked up a small bottle of Sangju cold tablets that I had eaten earlier. After reading the instructions, I quickly poured water and took two tablets. It was amazing! After a while, the symptoms became lighter and the pain was no longer so painful. I continued to take the medicine the next morning, and I felt that the inflammation had disappeared immediately. I was so happy that I wanted to go to the hospital quickly and open two more boxes to prepare. I picked up the worn-out box of the medicine. After looking at the outer packaging, I realized that the box of medicine was from nine years ago and had expired seven or eight years ago! Later, when I asked my colleagues at work, they all laughed at me and said, "You old-fashioned person, who would take Sangju Cold Tablets when they have a cold these days?" I have been taking co-trimoxazole for a long time, and now Cephalosporin has appeared again. Please go and prescribe some good medicine. What I mean by mentioning this here is that if you have a minor illness or pain, don’t rush to take medicine, let alone what medicine is good. No matter how expensive the medicine is, it will destroy your own immune system. People who don’t take medicine often will get a serious disease. Just take some small medicines and it will work. However, if every time you get sick, you will recover without treatment. Then your immunity will be improved once, give it a try!
Intractable pharyngitis, I feel, is one of the phenomena manifested by changes in poor physical constitution. If the physical constitution is not improved, it cannot be cured, and temporary improvement will not last long. I have been suffering from this kind of pharyngitis for about 30 years. I took countless medicines and the disease became worse with each treatment. In 2013, I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer at the age of 63. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, I embarked on a long, arduous and unremitting road to improve my physical condition. So far, not only has the cancer disappeared, but all previous chronic diseases (including pharyngitis, gout, gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, bronchitis, etc.) have been cured without treatment, and I feel like I am not afraid of diseases. What cannot be changed is the severe hearing loss caused by the sequelae of radiotherapy.
See a Chinese medicine doctor. I have had pharyngitis for several years. I took dozens of pharyngitis medicines, but nothing improved. Then I went to see a Chinese medicine doctor. He asked me to have a gastroscopy, and it turned out to be a stomach problem. ! Now I have taken two courses of Chinese medicine, and my pharyngitis is finally gone. Don’t go to Western medicine. Western medicine treats headaches, head pain, and feet. It doesn’t have the dialectics of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is to strengthen the foundation and nourish the body, and it does not harm the body!
The pharyngitis that the general doctor does not treat well is chronic pharyngitis that leaves lesions. I also have severe chronic pharyngitis. This problem may not seem serious, but it cannot be cured. Every time you catch a cold or catch a cold, the first symptom that appears is throat pain. It usually hurts so much when swallowing saliva. In the past, once throat pain occurred, antibiotics were usually required to suppress it, and it lasted for at least a week. Later, I insisted on kneading my throat every day, and now I can finally control my pharyngitis better. Every time I catch a cold or catch a cold, my throat only hurts a little. Most of the time, it is fine without taking medicine
I am at 1 I posted a comment at 19:00 on the 11th of March. If someone reads it carefully and thinks about it seriously, they will definitely find the simplest and most effective way to treat pharyngitis.
This can be considered as a rule of thumb, now I will give you a brief introduction~
Pharyngeal inflammation, no need to take medicine, it will take effect in a few minutes! As for the reason, you can figure it out after reading my comment, so I won’t be verbose. The specific method is as follows:
Contract the pharyngeal muscles with force, then relax them, and do this several times~ After a few minutes, if you feel that your pharynx is If you have phlegm, or if you have thicker phlegm, or if you feel moist (dry, itchy, sore throat), then it’s working!
Then according to the situation, continue to do it a few times when you have time. In this way, generally mild pharyngitis will be cured in half a day, and even more severe pharyngitis will be cured in a day or two. After that, it is How to take care of yourself to prevent recurrence!
Pharyngitis can be divided into acute and chronic cases. Acute cases will usually be cured in a few days or with one to two courses of medication. Chronic pharyngitis is relatively stubborn and manifests as a foreign body sensation in the throat, dry cough, itching, dryness, hoarseness, etc. In severe cases, the cough persists at night and is more uncomfortable. Chronic patients are a difficult-to-treat disease. Most people are mild and severe at times, and the medication is only temporarily delayed, making it difficult to cure. Pharyngitis tablets and compound hay tablets can relieve it, as can traditional Chinese medicine. However, there is no prescription that can completely cure chronic pharyngitis. Some people say it can be cured, which is a lie.
Chronic pharyngitis is a stubborn disease that cannot be cured. Twenty years ago, in order to take the exam for a local singing and dancing troupe, I practiced my voice hoarsely without the guidance of any vocal teacher. In the end, my vocal cords broke. Now, after talking for a long time, my throat is swollen, painful and congested.
I went to several major hospitals, but the doctors said there was no cure and told me not to drink, smoke, eat spicy food, and talk less. well!
