Because the posterior pharyngeal wall is often stimulated by viscous secretions, people often get up in the morning with frequent irritating cough and nausea. People who feel phlegm and are not easy to cough often show habitual dry cough, clear throat or expectoration. If they cough hard or clear their throat, it can cause bleeding of pharyngeal mucosa, leading to blood in sputum.
2 Etiology of chronic pharyngitis 1, inflammation of the throat or its adjacent parts, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, chronic tonsillitis, some inflammation in the mouth (dental caries, gingivitis, suppuration of wisdom teeth), etc. If these inflammations are not controlled in time, once they spread or persist, they will lead to chronic pharyngitis.
2, systemic diseases can also cause chronic pharyngitis such as anemia, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatism and so on. Vitamin deficiency and immune dysfunction are also related to chronic atrophic pharyngitis.
3, the influence of environment and living habits, such as friends who are prone to "allergies" or sub-health constitution, the body is very fragile. Once the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment suddenly change, or the air quality is poor, eating alcohol, tobacco, spicy food, dust, harmful gases, harmful radiation, etc., can easily lead to chronic pharyngitis.
4, snoring causes the pharyngeal mucosa to be easily stimulated. Snoring in life often causes breathing with the mouth open, resulting in dryness of the pharynx or irritation of the pharyngeal mucosa. Professional workers who use their voice too much for a long time, such as teachers, singers and presenters, often have a higher probability of chronic pharyngitis.
3 Can chronic pharyngitis cause cancer? Generally speaking, chronic pharyngitis does not cause cancer, but some tumor lesions, such as early laryngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, cervical esophageal cancer, tongue cancer, tonsil cancer, thyroid cancer and so on. It may be disguised as "chronic pharyngitis", similar to "wolf in sheep's clothing".
So patients with pharyngitis symptoms are not necessarily pharyngitis. Especially when there are some other symptoms in the pharynx, such as swallowing and eating, radiation pain, hemoptysis or blood in sputum, and long-term drug treatment is ineffective, we must find out the reasons in time, and we can't simply think it is chronic pharyngitis.
4 Precautions for Chronic Pharyngitis It is difficult to achieve the goal of "radical cure" of chronic pharyngitis in a short period of time, but we can take "controlling the uncomfortable symptoms of pharyngitis" and "reducing the number of episodes of pharyngitis" as more realistic and feasible treatment goals. Even if it can't be cured temporarily, mastering the inducement can improve the condition to the maximum extent and prepare for a complete cure in the future.
