Pharyngeal foreign body sensation is a disease caused by some local and systemic factors or mental factors. This disease is also called plum nucleus gas, pharyngeal bulb syndrome and pharyngeal neurosis. It is also called Mei Qi in Chinese medicine. Most patients are middle-aged, and women are more common. The abnormal sensation of this disease is various, such as foreign body sensation in the throat, swelling, oppression, blockage, dryness, floating ball and so on. Symptoms are sometimes good and bad, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. These symptoms are more obvious when swallowing saliva, but swallowing food has no effect; When you are nervous and tired, you get worse, and when you are in a good mood, you often reduce or disappear. The main reasons for these symptoms are as follows: First, the pharynx is the door of the respiratory tract and digestive tract, and it is often stimulated by various dusts and harmful gases. The throat is rich in nerves, such as glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, trigeminal nerve and sympathetic nerve. Many nerve endings are interwoven into a net to form a nerve plexus. These nerve plexuses are connected with distant organs such as esophagus, stomach, intestine and trachea. When these organs have diseases, such as gastric ulcer, enteritis, tracheitis, etc. They all have symptoms of plum gas. Second, the diseases of the adjacent organs of the throat, such as tonsil hypertrophy's disease, long styloid process or tumor stimulation, rhinitis and sinusitis secretion, cervical hyperosteogeny, periodontal disease, etc. These diseases can also indirectly cause foreign body sensation in the throat. Third, systemic diseases, such as endocrine dysfunction, autonomic nerve dysfunction, digestive dysfunction and so on. , will also produce foreign body sensation in the throat. Then there is the mental factor, that is, there is no organic disease, but it is caused by psychological factors.

Diagnostic points of plum blossom nuclear gas

1. Pharyngeal foreign body sensation is the main symptom, but it does not interfere with diet. The severity of symptoms is related to emotional changes.

2. Check whether all parts of the throat are normal without any relevant positive signs.

3. This disease should be differentiated from laryngeal obstruction caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire and tumor of throat and esophagus. Laryngitis caused by deficiency fire has foreign body sensation and dry throat, and often makes a "click" sound, and the symptoms have little to do with emotional changes; During the examination, the mucous membrane of the throat was slightly dark red, and there was lymphofollicular hyperplasia at the bottom of the throat.
