What foods can relieve the symptoms of pharyngitis? When answering this question, first understand the causes of chronic pharyngitis. There are many causes of chronic pharyngitis. Since it has a wide range, we will simply introduce the causes related to eating habits, such as tobacco and alcohol irritation, cold, hard, spicy and irritating food, etc. that cause common pharyngitis. Pharyngitis; Allergic pharyngitis can be caused by drugs, chemical irritants in the working environment, and food allergens; indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. can cause gastric acid to flow back into the throat, stimulating congestion and edema of the throat mucosa, causing reflux Pharyngitis.
I personally understand that those foods can relieve the symptoms of pharyngitis. It is more appropriate to say that avoiding those foods can reduce adverse stimulation to the pharynx and relieve pharyngeal symptoms. The first is to avoid cold, hard, spicy and irritating food, eat more light food, keep your mouth clean, and avoid tobacco and alcohol stimulation; avoid contact with allergic pharyngitis-related drugs, food and environmental chemical stimulation; if you have reflux pharyngitis, your diet should be very The key is to avoid eating before going to bed, raise the head of the bed, avoid overeating, eat less sweets and high-fat foods, avoid alcohol and quit smoking.
Chronic pharyngitis is a common and frequently-occurring disease that occurs in the throat. It has a great impact on people's diet, voice, breathing and other aspects. Because many people do not know much about chronic pharyngitis, treatment is often delayed, leading to local dysfunction of the pharynx, which can also spread to nearby organs and tissues, and even affect other systems throughout the body, damaging human health.
People with chronic pharyngitis should pay special attention to the balance and coordination of their diet in their daily lives. Try to eat more fruits and vegetables that contain more vitamin C, such as apples, oranges, pears, grapefruits, tomatoes, etc.; and eat less smoked, cured, overcold, overheated, or spicy foods.
Secondly, you should pay attention to drinking more water at ordinary times, because water can help detoxify the body and make all parts of the body run smoothly. If the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are severe, formal treatment must not be ignored. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic pharyngitis is caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire, and the deficiency and fire interfere with each other, causing the throat to become malnourished. Treatment should be to nourish yin and reduce fire, and use Zengye Decoction. Of course, this condition is also closely related to emotions, so you must pay attention to keeping your mood comfortable.
Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy food. In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, you can also eat things rich in collagen and elastin, such as pig's trotters, fish, milk, beans, animal liver, lean meat, etc. Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening. After gargling, you may wish to drink a glass of light salt water to sterilize, clean and moisturize the pharynx, improve the environment of the pharynx and prevent bacterial infection. If you persist for half a year to a year, chronic pharyngitis can be effectively controlled.
During an attack of chronic simple pharyngitis, there may be various sensations in the pharynx, such as foreign body sensation, dryness, burning, slight pain, etc. The pharyngeal secretions increase and become thick, so there is often a throat clearing movement and vomiting. White sticky sputum, which in severe cases can cause irritating cough, nausea, and vomiting. Pharyngeal examination revealed diffuse congestion of the mucous membrane, dilated blood vessels, dark red color with a small amount of sticky secretions, and swollen or stretched uvula.
1. Try to eat more fruits and vegetables containing more vitamin C, such as apples, oranges, tomatoes, etc.
2. Pay attention to drinking more water at ordinary times, because water can help detoxify the body and allow all parts of the body to run smoothly.
3. You can take care of your throat through diet. For example, making tea with honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum and sturgeon is a very good throat medicine. In addition, throat lozenges, loquat ointment, etc. can also have a good auxiliary therapeutic effect.
Don’ts

I have suffered from chronic pharyngitis, and the pain is not very painful. It is a yin and yin pain and is very uncomfortable. It was 1986, and I was doing business in Liuzhou. When I had a pain, I went to the hospital for an injection. The injection was penicillin, which was injected entirely into my chin. One injection a day, one dose is enough for four days. But as soon as I ate something hot, it would come back again, causing pain and injections, and it lasted more than half a year. Without knowing it, my family saw that there were a lot of nice and tender white cauliflowers in Wubei Garden, and they used them to make soup and eat them every night. After eating for a while, I realized that my throat no longer hurt, and then I started eating them intermittently. After a while, my throat really stopped hurting. I haven’t had any pain in more than 30 years now. It should be said that the root has been cut off. I told a few friends around me that they also felt better after eating, smoking and drinking. Everything is fine. If you also suffer from chronic pharyngitis, you might as well give it a try, you may get unexpected results.
I myself am a patient with chronic pharyngitis, which has lasted for more than ten years and has never been cured. However, after paying more attention to it, the condition is not serious and basically does not affect my life.
The main causes of chronic pharyngitis are as follows:
1. Acute pharyngitis becomes chronic; systemic and local resistance is often caused by cold, excessive fatigue, excessive smoking and alcohol, etc. Decrease, pathogenic microorganisms take advantage of the situation and cause acute pharyngitis. After the onset of acute pharyngitis, inflammation will persist for a long time and lead to chronic pharyngitis.
2. Suffering from various nasal diseases, nasal congestion and other reasons that lead to long-term mouth breathing and nasal discharge, irritating the pharynx, etc.;
3. Long-term excessive smoking and drinking, or exposure to dust , the stimulation of harmful gases causes a stress response in the eyes, causing the eyes to remain in a state of congestion and swelling.
The symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are generally mild. The most common ones are a foreign body sensation in the throat, frequent throat clearing movements, and a frequent feeling of dryness in the throat. In severe cases, it can cause irritating cough and nausea. Vomiting, pharyngeal examination showed diffuse congestion of mucosa, dilation of blood vessels, dark red color and other symptoms.
For early symptoms of chronic pharyngitis, you must go to a regular hospital for active treatment and the possibility of cure. If time is delayed, it may be the root cause of the disease for a lifetime. This is especially true for acute pharyngitis. Although the onset of acute pharyngitis is relatively rapid, the treatment effect is relatively good, but once it turns into chronic pharyngitis, it will be difficult.
I also took a lot of Western medicine at first, but because it lasted for a long time, the Western medicine had no effect, so I later used Chinese medicine and drank it by soaking it in hot water. On the one hand, it has the effect of medicine, and on the other hand, it reminds myself to drink water and hot water regularly.
When I was a student, many people didn't pay attention to drinking water and spent a lot of time using their throats, so pharyngitis was more serious. For Chinese medicine, you cannot just use it to make tea and drink it, such as Pangda Dahai, etc. Although the medicine is good for the throat, long-term use of the medicine may not be beneficial. Even if you use Chinese medicine, you must go to a professional doctor for diagnosis. Use again.
For pharyngitis, on the one hand, you should not eat irritating food. On the other hand, you should also not have excessive cold or heat or cold wind blowing for a long time, otherwise it is easy to show signs of aggravation of inflammation.
For some serious cases, or those that really affect life after the onset, you can use some Western medicine aerosols, such as gishubudesonide aerosol, which is an inhaled glucocorticoid. It was originally used It is also effective in treating bronchial asthma and clinically used to treat chronic pharyngitis.
Sometimes chronic pharyngitis is very simple. I have just experienced a miracle. The chronic pharyngitis that has lasted for more than ten years developed into pneumonia with a continuous high fever of 39 degrees or above in May last year. I was hospitalized and was discharged shortly after the New Year's Day this year. I was hospitalized for a recurrence of high fever and was discharged. The first ENT doctor I went to see on January 23 still treated me as chronic pharyngitis for 5 days without any effect. I felt that there was some kind of force that pushed me to go to the ENT department to change doctors. When I was seeing a doctor, the doctor used a goggle to carefully examine my throat, and then asked me: Do you often have acid reflux? I replied: Yes, how do you know? Then the doctor prescribed me a laryngeal endoscopy examination sheet, and then told me the results of the examination, which confirmed that I had esophageal reflux disease, and prescribed me gastric medicine for five days. At this time, a miracle happened, and it troubled me on the fourth day. The chronic strep throat that had been there for decades was cured.

Patients with chronic pharyngitis should eat less greasy food and more vegetables. Eat less cold drinks, especially beer, liquor and the like.
Many people are looking for prescriptions everywhere, and I have tried them all. In conclusion, no matter what medicine you take for chronic pharyngitis, it can only provide temporary relief, and chronic diseases must be treated slowly.
Listen to me, don’t take any other medicines, soak some Pangdahai every day and drink warm water if you have nothing to do, brush your teeth every morning and evening, maintain oral hygiene, and eat regularly. Say no to greasy and spicy food, drink more porridge, and exercise more, and you will get better slowly. To untie the bell, one must tie the bell.
There are many causes of chronic pharyngitis, common ones include rhinitis, cold, haze, dust, smoking and drinking, dry air, excessive voice use, staying up late, fatigue, high psychological stress, etc. After suffering from chronic pharyngitis, irritating foods such as too spicy, too salty, too hot, too cold, fried, and barbecue will irritate the pharyngeal mucosa, causing itchiness, coughing, and even nausea. But unfortunately, there are currently no foods that can effectively relieve the symptoms of pharyngitis, including herbal medicines and patent medicines.
There is only one general principle for the diet of patients with chronic pharyngitis, which is a light diet. A light diet means that no irritating seasonings are used, and meat, fish, eggs, milk and other foods can still be eaten normally. Since eating spicy foods such as peppers and pickles can irritate the pharyngeal mucosa, in order to promote the pharyngeal mucosa to return to normal as soon as possible, just avoid eating these foods.
While maintaining a light diet, you should also actively treat the causes of pharyngitis. There are various causes of pharyngitis, but because chronic pharyngitis often lingers and recurs, it is often difficult to treat the cause. Therefore, find the cause of pharyngitis and treat it proactively, and try to avoid contact with environmental factors that cause pharyngitis. For example, when there is haze, you should wear an anti-smog mask when going out. In winter, if the indoor is dry, you should often open windows for ventilation and use a humidifier. At the same time, maintain a healthy lifestyle, do not smoke or drink, exercise actively, and adjust your body well, and chronic pharyngitis will naturally get better.
