Acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses, and the etiology of chronic pharyngitis is mainly due to the repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis caused by incomplete treatment.
The throat is an organ for swallowing food and pronouncing, and it is also one of the important organs of the human body. Due to various factors, there are many patients with different degrees of pharyngitis in recent years.
Pharyngolaryngitis can be divided into acute pharyngolaryngitis and chronic pharyngolaryngitis, among which chronic pharyngolaryngitis is a common pharyngeal disease in the population.
Experts say that acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses, while the cause of chronic pharyngitis is mainly due to the repeated attack of acute pharyngitis caused by incomplete treatment, which becomes chronic pharyngitis after a long time.
There are also some patients who are more likely to get chronic pharyngitis because of the air pollution in the working environment, or because of the long-term stimulation of alcohol, tobacco and spicy diet, and because of people who use too much sound in professional relations.
Experts say that the cause of chronic pharyngitis is more complicated, and the condition often recurs for a long time, which is difficult to treat. But in comparison, Chinese medicine can improve the condition of chronic pharyngitis more than western medicine.
At present, western medicine treatment is mostly to temporarily control the disease, but taking too many antibiotics is harmful to human body, because abuse of antibiotics may lead to imbalance of normal flora in throat.
Don't forget, too much antibiotics will also have side effects, which will lead to the strengthening of bacterial drug resistance and the decline of human immune function, leading to repeated attacks of intractable diseases.
Heat poison in the body spreads to the throat.
Patients with chronic pharyngitis often have long-term throat discomfort. The main symptoms are: foreign body sensation in the throat (so chronic pharyngitis is also called blood vessel ball), sore throat, swollen throat, dry throat, itchy throat and cough, and even hoarseness in severe cases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic pharyngolaryngitis is a disease caused by the upward spread of heat toxin in the body to the throat, which leads to the obstruction of meridians in the throat.
Experts say that Chinese medicine uses drugs to clear away heat and toxic materials, clear throat and benefit throat when treating chronic pharyngitis. After correct syndrome differentiation and dietotherapy, Chinese medicine will have better curative effect.
Medical research shows that 10 to 50% of chronic pharyngitis is caused by gastroesophageal reflux.
The common symptoms of pharyngitis caused by gastroesophageal reflux are hoarseness, dysphagia or pain. Such patients should avoid overeating, eat 3 to 4 hours before going to bed, and cushion the pillow to help reduce gastroesophageal reflux.
In addition, long-term irregular life, fatigue and mental stress will cause the body's resistance to decline, and bacteria and viruses are prone to repeated infections, causing pharyngitis.
Looking for the real cause of throat discomfort
Experts say that people who have been troubled by throat discomfort for a long time should first find a doctor for examination, diagnosis and treatment, find out the real cause of throat discomfort, avoid improper and excessive medication, and avoid indiscriminate medication.
To prevent chronic pharyngitis, acute pharyngitis should be treated in time, and antiviral drugs should be used in time in the acute stage to prevent acute pharyngitis from evolving into chronic one. At the same time, when you are sick, you should properly ban the sound, avoid excessive use of sound, and quit smoking and drinking.
In addition, patients with chronic pharyngitis should avoid irritating diets, including spicy and roasted, fried, spicy and dry foods, and drink more tea and water.
If it is caused by the working environment and air pollution, the working or living environment should be improved.
Take some vitamin C.
Nutritionists in various countries are also the most controversial about vitamin C, and the recommended amount ranges from 80mg to 2000mg. In fact, everyone's situation is different and their needs are different. If there is chronic inflammation, the demand will be even greater, about 500mg. If it is healthy, 80 mg is enough, and there are enough fruits and vegetables every day. Although the daily demand is small, it plays a vital role.
