Can chronic pharyngitis lead to tumors?
Patients at this time, the disease of chronic pharyngitis can be treated conservatively under the guidance of the doctor. At the same time, the patient needs to rest, drink more water and eat a liquid diet. The expert said that when the chronic pharyngitis long-term, recurrent attacks, patients often appear nervous and anxiety, fear that this annoying disease will gradually evolve into a pharyngeal tumor. In fact, patients with chronic pharyngitis need not worry too much, because so far there is no report of chronic pharyngitis leading to tumors. In general, chronic pharyngitis is not a big obstacle to health, and the main purpose of treatment is to reduce and relieve the symptoms. However, because the early symptoms of pharyngeal tumor are very similar to chronic pharyngitis, and the pharynx is a hidden part of the body, in order to avoid missing the diagnosis, pharyngitis patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up. Chronic pharyngitis can be clinically divided into three types: chronic simple pharyngitis, chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis and atrophic pharyngitis. Clinical manifestations are all pharyngeal discomfort symptoms, including foreign body sensation, itching, irritating cough, burning, dryness, slight pain, phlegm, nausea when brushing teeth in the morning. Symptoms can be aggravated by fatigue, exposure to cold or excessive use of the voice. Treatment of chronic pharyngitis will often include localized symptomatic management to reduce and relieve symptoms. As for patients with atrophic pharyngitis, topical iodized glycerin can be applied to promote glandular secretion, improve local circulation, and reduce dryness. A small number of people with extremely pronounced lymphoid follicular hyperplasia in the pharynx can be treated with minimally invasive surgery.
